    Just seen this on the flightradar 24 website about using a tv usb stick as a ADS-B receiver.It seems very easy to do and you can do it all on a computer. Ordered one from here for around 15 delivered.

    I use this and does the job. Get planeplotter and a decent antenna and your sorted. The one supplied is useless, but depending on where I have it I can get up to 70nm south and up to 40nm north, but rarely get that far. Usually 20nm.
