I'd have to disagree, I have a DVICO Dual Digital (first revision!) and a Leadtek DVT-1000S (ultra cheap) and both were painless to setup and haven't had a issue with either.

In fact the Leadtek one I had up and running in record time for any new peice of hardware! Literally, plug in, install drivers, configure VMC and was watching TV.

The TV software with both is a bit rubbish, but if you're using MCE/VMC or MediaPortal (I use this) then it's fine.

Oh, ok I have one one problems, Linux support for Dual Digital when it first came out didn't exist but now it's in the kernel, no problems!
