Hi,
wouldn't a DVB-T /T2 receiver be a viable solution,
there are many even cheap ones (e.g. Octagon) that run
enigma-based linux software (e.g. openATV ).
They have audio out connectors.
They do also DVB-S2 satellite with a dish.
Don't know about DAB+ maybe some plugin
with a USB dongle could do it, if something
like this exists.

Ciao,
