According to the Synology website you can connect a compatible USB TV DVB-T tuner and record directly onto the NAS. (I'm looking at purchasing the DS213).  In effect using your NAS as a PVR.

Has anyone tried to use a compatible USB TV tuner (DVB-T) with a Synology NAS and the Video Station package?

What kind of issues did you have?

Or easier to use a separate PVR receiver?

The most important thing to consider is whether it supports H.264 or not.

I would also imagine you'll have no EPG which will make the whole setup rather limiting,
