Raspberry Pi TV HAT
I thought this would be a good idea to get, not been able to get working properly yet, disappointed with the complexity of the software setup that only a programmer would love. I have set this aside for now, will have another go at it at some future date.

Raspberry Pi TV HAT
The HAT works fine, and the software to use it as a remote TV server works fine. However, if you're getting this to integrate into plex, don't bother. Plex has depreciated the feature needed to integrate the Pi TV so it is no longer possible to do so. This isn't a knock on the hardware, nor the fault of the hardware developers. So just keep in mind, the plex integration instructions on the page no longer work, sadly.

Raspberry Pi TV HAT
Bought to replace an old USB DVB-T, not only cheaper, but also got a USB socket back now! Straight forward to install (following the PiHut online instructions), working well with Tvheadend. Based on experience I would recommend this.
[Note, if you use other pins of the GPIO there are no exposed pins after using the provided riser header.]

Raspberry Pi TV HAT
I bought this to replace a USB DVB-T2 tuner stick which was having problems (Pi couldn't power it sufficiently in addition to 3 other USB devices I had connected). It works well with TVHeadend and It even seems to tune to channels a bit faster than the USB tuner.
The only downside I see is that it uses only the SPI interface, power and ground pins, but it occupies all 40 pins on the GPIO connector and has no way to easily use, for example, the UART pins while the HAT is plugged in. I am going to try wiring the individual SPI, power and ground pins to the HAT with jumper wires instead of plugging in the HAT directly, which I hope will let me continue using the UART as well as this HAT.

Small compact card that does what's needed, very good clear install instructions on the pihut site to go with it.

Raspberry Pi TV HAT
Brill product, use it to stream across to TVs connected to my Jellyfin server in the house so we don't need tohave an aerial cable in every place so saves me a lot of cabling!
Very easy to setup, takes probably 10 minutes in all.

Raspberry Pi TV HAT
Easy to install the hardens hardware. Software was a pain to get going. It’s written in a way that assumes you know all the weird terminology for areal broadcast standards. Once it got going it seems to be nearly bulletproof and has been serving to my Apple TV well.
