Survey: Best overall choice for v4l pci card today

Hi Folks-

A year ago or so, I asked for feedback similar to this (though more
detailed) in order to summarize it in the v4l wiki (which I did).
Sadly, it looks like that wiki article hasn't changed much at all since
I posted it.

And it seems that now, all of the feedback I got back then is not very
helpful to me if I want to buy a new card for v4l applications today.

For example, an owner rated the Hauppauge Nova-T WinFast 2000 XP as a 10
out of 10 in terms of his satisfaction with the card, but I can't find
this card for sale anywhere now (except for eBay, and I'd prefer a new
card). I find other new Haupauge cards available today, but I'd like to
make sure the card I buy is a good choice,

You cant. Hauppauge are all the time selling different cards under the same product name, even in boxes with the same product number, even once in the same wholesale batch! Only working strategy has been: buy whatever is available, then pray :-(

drawing on others'
experiences with it if possible.

So I wonder if I could get some survey-type answers to the question of
which PCI card is best for general v4l usage today; by "general" I mean:
for the following applications: capturing cable tv, radio, and cctv.

Thanks in advance.
