The TV HAT connects to the 40-pin GPIO header and to a suitable antenna, allowing your Raspberry Pi to receive DVB-T2 television broadcasts.
With the board, you can receive and view television on a Raspberry Pi, or you can use your Pi as a server to stream television over a network to other devices. The TV HAT works with all 40-pin GPIO Raspberry Pi boards when running as a server. If you want to watch TV on the Pi itself, we recommend using a Pi 2, 3, or 3B+, as you may need more processing power for this.
It’s for DVB-T2 television broadcasts – which means Europe only.

Just to clarify – DVB-T/T2 (which the TV uHat is compatible with) are not confined to Europe. Those standards are also used in Australia, New Zealand, large parts of Asia and Africa, and a couple of countries in South America.
(The US/Canada/Mexico/South Korea use ATSC, Japan and much of South America, and a couple of Asian and African countries use ISDB-T, and China uses its own standard, DTMB)
