You can have very cheap narrow-band DSP by using a sound card and the 
output of an SSB receiver with the filters switched out. And you can 
transmit too. That would be a good way to start before you throw lots of 
bucks at hardware.

ATSC might still be too computationally intensive to work in real time 
on any PC you can afford.
