Yuck. I guess they figured that copying the design except for the "rtl-sdr.com" part meant they weren't breaking any rules.
Yeah, just buy the real thing for $25.
so one of these with my hdtv antenna would work fine?
What brand/model/chipset did you choose? This dongle seems well received and I have plenty of spare antennas, RG/LMR coax and RF connectors crimp my setup. Now know I could check wikidevi.com for Linux compatible devices with stable firmware but I'd love to hear what you've used.
Crap, it's the same one. For some reason I read "2x" as "v2". Sorry! You've got the right one linked above (v3).
