I use TVHeadEnd in a virtual machine, with two HD Homerun network
digital dual-tuners. This summarized my setup but it's in French:

My setup uses a minimal Trisquel installed with the network/mini
installer. It runs as a VM under a Proxmox host, be careful to use
regular kernel (as opposed to minimal kernel designed for
virtualization) so the DVB drivers are included.

This also has a free open source client for Android (TVH Guide):

Although the resulting files required proprietary codecs to play (at
least ATSC raw datain NorthAmerica does), Trisquel itself doesn't
require any non-free codecs to record the streams.

For playback, I transcode with Handbrake or watch directly on my TV,
shared via miniDLNA server on a Debian NAS. You could also use XBMC as a
front-end.

Cheers,

Fabian
