USB DVB-T RTL-SDR Realtek R820T+RTL2832U Tuner Receiver Dongle MCX Input New

Does what it says
Cheap simple dongle that works well. Do be aware that these dongles run hot, so dont enclose them too much, otherwise you might fry your Rapberry Pi (a lot of heat is transferred through the USB port). Power usage about 1.3w, max temp 65 degrees Celsius. If you are looking for better quality, do look at the NooElec Nano3. This has an aluminium casing that takes all the heat away from the USB port, so the former is hot while the latter is cold. It is a nice unit, built to a higher spec.
