USB Radio device

[Deleted User]

The evil corporate IT security monkeys have locked down all the broadband radio stations so now i've lost my music fix.

I'm looking for some kind of USB device that will plug into the back of my PC and let me listen to the radio.. either FM or DAB.

I can't seem to find any cheap DAB usb dongles, but I've seen you can get the digital TV type for under 30 pounds now... would these give me radio stations?

Anyone got something like this?

Closest I can find is this : http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/Creative/MUVO/X-8/USB/Digital/Radio

But that just looks like a cheap radio that uses USB for power, i want the sound to come through the PC so I can record it if I want to.

Thanks!

I would be very careful about plugging a USB device into a works PC (if that what you meant) what about a cheapo walkman radio or even radio on your phone, just an idea.

Oh yeah is recording the radio broadcast illegal? I dont know myself.

Recording a radio broadcast is now illegal. Never use to be but now it is they call it Home recording.

Our firm is fairly reasonable with installing software on works machines (we only have laptops.. everyone hot desks) and we can be issued with USB memory sticks, so i don't see that it would be a corporate problem.

I've got radio on my phone.. but i already listen to music on my PC whilst I work so I thought it'd be nice just to plug something in the back.

I guess i need something like this: http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/706/1592/?referrer=musicatl
but more up to date (i.e. with DAB ideally)
