My experience has been that the EZcaps with E4000 aren't easy to get anymore 
since the E4000 has been discontinued. I'll second Rui's notion that you should 
look for something with the R820T. I just picked one up last week - it seems to 
have much better sensitivity and much less LO leakage (DC spike) than my EZcap.

Look for the NooElec TV28T:

Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [USRP-users] A good alternative for Ezcap DVB-T 
Dongle??

Hi Rui,
I was looking for alternatives because ezcap dongles are not readily available 
in India. When I bought one (I bought from dealextream) it had to be shipped 
from Hong Kong and took many days to reach me. I had to pay extra customs 
duty.(That any way will be unavoidable)
. I'm not averse to ezcap in any way. But I'm looking for better reliability 
about shipping.
If you are aware of any dealers selling ezcap, I would be glad to know the 
details.
Thanks.
Manu

Hi Manu,

why an alternative? I uses dongles with the E4000 tuner some cynergys. In my 
opinion the ezcap with the R820T tuner works better and more stable (rtl-sdr 
project).

Cheers..

Hi,

What are the options for a good alternative for Ezcap DVB-T dongle?
We need some RTL SDR dongles, for setting up experiments for undergraduate 
communication lab course. We were planning to buy some RTL SDR compatible 
dongles for the same. If anyone knows a good alternative for Ezcap DVB-T 
dongle, please let me know. Any amount of details ( specifications, available 
vendors) are welcome.
Thank you.
