The pvrusb2 device lacks hardware support for DVB-T ... It is an analog
source mpeg2 encoder.

There *might* be a box made by a company called, "Sasem" that might be
more of what you're looking for.  This company makes a hybrid analog
encoder / ATSC receiver / demodulator usb2 box, but it is not yet fully
supported under Linux.  Perhaps they have a DVB-T version, but I am not
sure of that.  Even if so, it will be a long while before the Sasem box
will be fully supported under Linux.
