Here in the US we have can buy hardware at websites like newegg where there are customer reviews. There are always linux/ubuntu users who report on how the hardware works. I hope you can do the same in Italy.

I would not get some obscure brand.

I use a kworld atsc 115 pci card.

Speaking of tv and Italy, I am watching the the Giro every day! (but over the web, cycling is a minor sport in the US, not much is on tv--that sucks!)

Tell you what giuseppe, it'd probably be easier if you posted the names of the TV sticks you're thinking about getting. Then folk could say whether (they know if) it's compatible with Linux.
