I have an Ultraview card (which is a Dvico Fusion HDTV Lite) and a 
VisionPlus DVB-T card. The dvico gives me very good signal strength and 
SNR, while the VisionPlus gives very poor signal strength and SNR. I'm 
in Lane Cove, lower north shore, Sydney, so my signal _should_ be pretty 
good.

The VisionPlus is easy to get going, since support's been around for a 
long time. The Ultraview is not yet supported by the LinuxTV DVB drivers 
(as of kernel 2.6.10 - things may have changed since then) I had to 
modify the driver the think the card's a Dvico by changing the PCI ID. 
The proper dvico card is probably supported 'out of the box'.

In short: dvico good, visionplus bad.

Cheers,

Jon
