SDR aside - wow a rpi DVB-T tuner for 12 quid!? Is there an ATSC tuner for US at a price like that?

Sort of. You can buy an ATSC tuner on Amazon for about $35. There isn't any SDR software written for them, so you are buying a single purpose item.

The RTL-SDR dongles can't receive ATSC because ATSC is 6 MHz bandwidth and the RTL can only handle 3.2 MHz max.
