On a totally different tangent, I bought an interesting device off eBay recently. On the surface, it's a bog standard HD USB DVB-T receiver, and in that role, it performs quite well, even on the supplied indoor antenna. However, where it gets interesting is that it is possible to access the A/D converter directly, and use it as a front end for a software defined radio. I've had it watching a 2 MHz slab of spectrum.
The provided software is Windows only, but in SDR mode, it is supported under Linux (using the latest GNU Radio and some add on software). Dunno if there's any Linux TV software for it.
Do you have a link to the sold device? I was kinda interested myself, but then balked when I remember how often chipsets change without the model number changing. -- Tim Connors
