There is a common DVB-T receiver chip capable of producing raw IQ samples, which makes it a good device for Amateur Radio SDR experimentation.

The chips is used in some DVB-T USB dongles sold around 2012-2013. What is the model of that chip and which DVB-T dongles are known to use it?

    $\begingroup$ 1) This is very localized and will not be very useful in just a few years time. 2) hardware and product recommendations aren't typically supported on stack exchange sites for a variety of reasons, but there is precedent for sites that support it. We should discuss it on meta. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ There is just one of these and it is widely available and a much used tool in amateur radio circles. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Also specific hardware such as RD-58 will be used for decades. I'd suspect this applies to RTL2832U unless there will be better solution which seems unlikely. $\endgroup$

You're likely referring to the Realtek RTL2832U

A dongle compatibility chart for this chip can be found here:
