I would encourage everyone to give the Newsky dongle a try. You could 
have a lot of fun for much less than the price of dinner in a 
mediocre restaurant.

I've had my dongle for about a week. I had some problems getting 
started mainly because of a lack of clear information about how to 
configure the various open software which is available. Now that I'm 
up and running, the next challenge is figuring out where to listen 
and what to use for an antenna.

Paul was a tremendous help. I'm trying to write something very basic 
which could help the next person get started more easily.

I bought my dongle using the link which Paul posted:

I had some trouble with my order which was caused by eBay, but a 
quick email directly to the supplier, Noo Electric, resulted in an 
near immediate email response from Noo Electric's Jeff which cleared 
things up instantly.
