The main reason I got my device is so I can receive a community station which I can't pick up at home, plan is to put it at my parents' house and stream it over the net. (The station's own net stream is a pretty horrible-sounding 64K mp3). Think I'll get another device to play with though :-) > For the ever popular question what device to buy, since the models > keep changing and the chipsets aren't mentioned anywhere: If you > are shopping in Germany, the device above is a SAT.1 co-branded > > Terratec ran T Stick+ > > available right now for ~20 EUR. > I tested this with the RTL2832U+R820T sold by Hossen (in Amazon store, shipped from Singapore) - there are also various RTL2832U+E9000 devices e.g. one sold by NooElec in the US. (if you were to buy a random device from ebay, you'd be more likely to find an R820T tuner; this works fine with rtl-sdr; if you're also wanting to use it for tv on Linux, you need an updated kernel module from linuxtv.org).
