Re: CHeap SDR

How many people have tried using the DVB-T tv dongles as a cheap SDR? I have the E4000 version setup here and it's working surprisingly well. This version isn't too sensitive on the frequencies above 1 GHz so I'm waiting for an 820T version to arrive. Nice little project for under 20 dollars.
I've got an (I think) E4000 dongle here myself. It's fun to mess around with, and very cheap indeed. So far I've only just used gqrx to scope around and listen to stuff (and found the finding the offset to know what actual frequency I'm tuned to somewhat annoying,) and have yet to find anything else to do with the thing.
