i have a similar setup - two DVIDO FusionHDTV Plus cards and one VisionPlus 
DVB-T (identified as a Twinam in linux).

while i agree that the VisionPlus has a lower-quality tuner than the DVICO 
cards (signal strength/quality not quite as good), with a correct antenna 
setup, this does not cause any quality issues.
