DLink radio does seem to provide a clean signal when used with a decent car ariel, not the telescopic thing it comes with. Only problem is it has no RDS/EON and has to be constantly re-tuned or tweaked as you drive. For basic FM radio they are ok, but don't come close to the sound/reception quality of a decent headunit.

IMO with currently available hardware it seems a better solution to stick with a Headunit for Radio, and amplification (if you don't use Amps.) - it also serves as a backup music/radio source when PC innevitably crashes or hangs.

I am yet to try a TV/FM PCI card. There are also a few DVB/DAB USB tuners surfacing at the moment.
