I don't think they have cards with ATSC tuners/demodulators (yet?).

For cheap DVB software decoding rather use another card (KNC, Lifeview,
Hauppauge/Technotrend Nova, etc.). Some of them at least support Linux
development by supplying information about their products.
They also do not just "borrow" code from bttv to use it in a
proprietary closed source Linux SDK.
