Don't have $1500 to drop on a USRP? A Linux kernel developer has discovered 
that a Realtek digital TV tuner chip has an undocumented mode that turns it 
into a software-defined radio, with a frequency range of 64-1700MHz. The going 
rate for one of these USB devices can be as low as US$11. If you're unfamiliar 
with software-defined radio and have 20 minutes to spare, Balint Seeber has a 
great video introduction.
