You'll need to note that an antenna is key to getting good results. **Q: Can this be used to watch digital tv with the right software** A: Yes, but with poor performance. While you should be able to receive legacy DVB-T transmissions (first generation digital television), newer DVB-T2 (second generation digital television, HD) transmissions cannot be received due to limited bandwidth on these dongles. **Q: Can you listen to atc on this, and what program do you use in the uk.** A: Yes, it is fine for ATC, I use a small indoor 'rabbits ears' (old tv aerial) and you need to turn to the signals. SDRSharp software is easy to use and free. You need to get right adapter to screw into thread of the sdr usb stick. You could just attach a long wire to the center pin just to test but it is not reliable for any long term use. Look around for the antennas that sometimes are sold with this SDR. Don't pay to much I got my antenna set for < 20 euro. **Q: Would this product work on a Google Chromebook? Thanks.** A: My guess is No. Chrome books are very limited and only to apps most (all?) software developed for these devices are Windows 7 or 10. Seriously, they are pain to use IMO and a dedicated multi band physical radio is a better investment. ## Frequently Bought Together - RTL-SDR Blog V3 R860 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio (Dongle Only) (Black) - RTL-SDR Blog Multipurpose Dipole Antenna Kit - RaTLSnake M6 v2 - Premium 3-Antenna Bundle for NESDR, RTL-SDR, HackRF, and Other Software Defined Radios.
