In the era when name brands made digital-TV set-top tuners for the USA market (1999-2006, roughly), the best-performing tuners were the LG-built ones in 2003-05, which were sold under several brands. There were versions with and without DirecTV satellite tuning built in, which can be turned off in the menus. I do not remember the model numbers exactly, but they were roughly these:

Zenith HD-SAT520 and HD420
Sony SAT-HD200 and -300 (but not the -100 model)
Hughes HTL-HD
LG LST-3400, 3500, 3510 (one of those was also a DVR as well)
