This card is surprisingly good, I never thought Leadtek stuff particularly bad, but there are so many success and dismay stories about Leadteks TV Tuner cards, this probably means they are popular and reasonably priced, so I guess many have been sold.

The DTV1000H was very popular among MythTV builders, I think this may be the next popular reasonably priced card just like it's little bro!

There are cards in the Hardware category and the Software category,eg. most cards use the software drivers to do the work which uses the processing power of the CPU these are Software cards.
