I am currently using one of these Elgato tuners on a late 2010 13" air.
It works pretty well when attached to the household TV aerial, but nowhere near as well using the little aerial that came with it.
One good thing is that you can get a free iPad app that lets you connect (via your wireless LAN) to the application running on the Mac and watch TV on the iPad.
