Just my 2 cents... I considered the DVB-C 2300, but I found out that the only video output is composite. There is no J2 block on these cards - if you want S-Video or RGB, you'll have to be mighty accurate with the soldering iron! This I believe is the real reason the 2300 is much cheaper on dvbshop.net than other cards, simply because most people wanting a hardware decoder card are interested in image quality, and composite-only is useless for this. Cheers, Gavin.
