Looks like someone has figured out that USB TV-tuners can be repurposed into wideband SDR receivers:

From that page:
It looks like this project is in it's early stages (they claim to have been successful with TETRA and "GMR") but I figured some folks here would be interested...

From that page:
The RTL2832U outputs 8-bit I/Q-samples, and the highest theoretically possible sample-rate is 3.2 MS/s, however, the highest sample-rate without lost samples that has been tested so far is 2.8 MS/s. The frequency range is highly dependent of the used tuner, sticks that use the Elonics E4000 offer the best range (64 - 1700 MHz).
