If you do a search for "PVR" on Amazon you get several listings. Here are two that have a QAM tuner:

https://www.amazon.com/Edal-Receiver-Converter-Recording-Composite/dp/B01LYL35SP/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1489406121&sr=8-12&keywords=pvr
These have a single tuner that will receive digital OTA and ClearQAM. With the addition of a USB hard drive they can be used as a PVR.
I have an iView and Mediasonic brands which are basically the same. Hopefully the software has improved in recent models because mine are a bit quirky. Once you figure them out they work quite well and the video is excellent. Total cost will be less than $100 for the box and a 1TB hard drive.
Just a heads up, many cable companies are dropping ClearQAM and encrypting all channels
