I believe I've seen USB HD tuners for around $50. It was just a few days
ago, but I don't remember where.


Even if you could find one, it wouldn't be a good idea. USB will be slow
and quirky, if used for a HD TV tuner. -Dave


They work fine, if you have a computer to plug them into. But there
is no computer here on the OPs 1".

Note that you can shop around and get these for a song, so perhaps an
ATSC usb stub is what the OP needs since he probably has a computer.
You'll have some computational and OS conditions you'll need to satisfy
with the USB ATSC tuners that will vary depending on just what you are
using.
