Linux support is what you need. Tvheadend sits on top of that.
From browsing the TBS web:

I also like products from digitaldevices. In your case something like :

Beware that per their support the required signal strength for DVB-T is of at least '-44dBm for good reception'. (Cine-T2 card, but still)
Another thing to consider is whether you want to use unicable, or have one coaxial cable per sattelite LNB. DVB-S reception works completely differently from DVB-T. (4 disjoint possible tuner configurations -- V/H polarization + hi/lo freq).
As for transcoding hardware, I'd suggest you go with something that can do hw encoding. Check the number of encoding streams the hw supports. I'd also recommend a Ryzen, but an APU, precisely because some encoding/decoding could be offloaded the the integrated GPU. I myself have an Intel J5005 precisely for this reason (and low consumption).
