Sure!
The tablet runs Windows 10. You can choose mobile or desktop version. Choose desktop version (you can run more software). The dongles are about the size of a USB drive and use no external power.
The dongle for OTA TV is any ATSC dongle that works with Windows. It has a coaxial connector that you can connect to your rooftop antenna or to an indoor antenna. There are a bunch of free software options that you can use to decode the signals-- some software even acts as a DVR. (VLC can even decode OTA TV).
The dongle for SDR needs to also be one that works for windows, and has a similar appearance. It's a not as user friendly, but you can slide the center frequency to just about anywhere in the radio spectrum.
A quick search shows that you can get ATSC dongles for Android too-- just make sure it can use more than a built-in antenna, otherwise you won't get much in Puna.
I think dongles are going to become more common, with 5G/NextGen delivery of content on the way.
