I guess the key here is "on paper" and how that differs from reality, but given the choice I'd take a card using the Conexant CX23885 and Xceive tuners over the Philips clones any day. The main strike against the DViCO for me in the UK is the cost. For the price of one of those I can get two of Hauppauge Nova-t 500, or nearly three of the Pinnacle Dual Hybrid PCIe OEM!
