Just a short warning: The US standards are a bit different... (but
KWorld has ATSC equipment, too, not just DVB).

And if commercial HDTV is to be received, special care has to be taken
that everything is HDMI compliant -- I think there are only hardware
based solutions to this problem, and it certainly won't be cheap -- at
least not <50USD, I think...

You say HDMI compliant - do you mean HDCP compliant?  That certainly makes more sense in the context.
