A lot of the flight trackers out there are using data from setups very like this! They are often crowdsourced (augmenting that by buying data for areas with little or no coverage like the FAA data for Atlantic/Pacific crossings).

It's a fun thing to setup and watch. :-)

We sell a similar receiver in our store! https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/mini-digital-tv-stick

FlightAware.com will send you a free one if you are in an area they need coverage for and are willing to keep it plugged in!
