Amazing that NATS is doing something for GA, which mostly doesn’t pay route charges 
And it doesn’t need prior permission to receive the signal.
The Q is how can you receive the data. It seems to be primarily a business promotion by Uavionix, which has recruited some ex CAA/NATS/RAF staff. Maybe I am getting old

It’s not for GA ultimately, it’s for the drone / UAV industry :-)
Does anyone know what device can receive this data – apart from (obviously) Uavionix?
Normally TIS is sent over 1090ES i.e. Mode S, so a GTX330 can receive TIS in the US, and somehow feed it to some compatible display.
UK ATC rejected TIS many years ago, citing that the cost would be ~100k per radar.
Garmin GDL50/51/52 a well as GTX345 can receive TIS on 878 Mhz.
Sure, in the US, but does that apply to this “TIS”?

It should. The document you linked to seems to say it is emitted on 978 MHz.
I think stratux will, if not now, after an update

Yes but as far as I can tell it will loose the FLARM reception as 978 and FLARM use the same input.
PilotAware?
Any SDR connected to a computer?

NATS is not doing anything, it is the group doing the trials at Goodwood: Trax, Skyports, uAvionics, ANRA
