Just a random question here, in my copious spare time recently I've been doing
a bit of reading about USB SDR applications, what about taking a data stream
from a DVB-T/DAB stick and using that as an entropy source?  Since you're
getting the raw data (before processing and error correction), which should be
relatively unpredictable and differ over time, that would also seem like a
good entropy source.

I assume you've read the Australian Freetronics guys' writeup on this...
