I wonder if this could be hacked into an SDR
« on: June 03, 2008, 07:24:53 PM »

I have one of the little Pinnacle Pro USB HTDV adapters.  These connect to a small antenna and then connect to a computer using USB2.  Apparently the USB stick does RF sampling and the computer's CPU is used to do DSP to decode the TV signal.  Sounds to me like this device might be useful to make a SDR, especially given that it covers all VHF and UHF TV channels in both analog and digital mode.  They are certainly inexpensive enough(list price under $100, I paid under $60 on sale).  Any thoughts?
