Some HDDs have low power draw and can be connected directly to a Raspberry Pi. For a example I directly connected a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB Portable External Hard Drive to build a PVR. See Build a Cheap PVR using Raspberry Pi 3, LibreELEC, Kodi, Tvheadend, & HDHomeRun. Note that I haven't tried to boot from the HDD.

There has been some work implemented in script.module.urllib3 version 1.25.3 that significantly improves upon this slowdown issue. See PR #55 - Remove excess IRI matcher compilation.
If you have Kodi automatic updates enabled then this component has probably already updated to the latest version.
If you have Kodi automatic updates disabled then you can manually install script.module.urllib3 version 1.25.3 with the following steps which assume the Confluence skin - should be similar with other skins:
1. Navigate to System -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Available updates.
2. Choose urllib3 and follow the prompts to Update to version 1.25.3.
Thanks goes to the persons who identified this issue and those who worked to resolve the issue.
EDIT: For more details see the ongoing discussion starting here.

What are the steps to roll back to the older script.module.urllib3 version 1.24.x and how does one prevent this library from upgrading automatically?
EDIT: It looks like there is a new urllib3 v1.24.3 according to this report URLlib 1.24.1 vulnerable to CVE-2019-11324 (rated CVSS 7.5 High).

For the RPi devices you can download the appropriate LibreELEC*.img.gz file, transfer the file to the /storage/.update/ folder, and then reboot the RPi. On bootup the RPi will extract and install the image.

I think with LibreELEC 9.x that the dvb (TV Capture card) drivers are available as an add-on.
Perhaps you might try searching though the add-ons for Hauppauge drivers.
EDIT: Just did some more searching and found this link that might contain some useful tips: Hauppauge 955Q Tuner

Thank you edit4ever for this Schedules Direct for Tvheadend addon. I've been using this for over a year with LibreELEC 8.2.3 on a Raspberry Pi 3 and this addon has performed flawlessly.
If anyone is curious I wrote an article on my experience: Build a Cheap PVR using Raspberry Pi 3, LibreELEC, Kodi, Tvheadend, & HDHomeRun
I look forward to trying this addon with LibreELEC 9 when it is released.
