You might want to check out the WinRadio receivers (www.winradio.com).

Thanks Dave.

I've had a look and spoken to their UK supplier - unfortunately, it
appears that they come with so much functionality that I end up paying
much more than I want, again (upwards of £400).

All I need is an FM-receiver that will tune to around 170-180MHz and
chuck out the audio, so I was hoping to find a unit around the £50 mark.
Maybe I'm being optimistic, but this is only a factor of 2 away from
what the £10 transistor radio on the windowsill does.

Any other suggestions much appreciated.
