Well, i don't think that support for cx88 is worse, but of corse all
chips on the card need to be known and we know quite a lot about the
Lifeview cards. If you are looking for a hybrid DVB-T card, you might
also consider the
- Pinnacle 310i
- ASUSTEK P7131 Dual TV
especially due to the fact that the Lifeview cards are known to need a
good signal. If possible, you should have a close look at the card
before you buy it: Many Vendors change the hardware without changing
the name...

Good luck
