I've got the Medion8828, which has a '3 in 1' TV card (terrestrial, DVB-T & DVB-S), which may not be the same as this latest offering - but ..
My impression of the terrestrial TV performance agrees with zingle, the RF out from a VM Samsung 2100C used to be fine on my previous ATI card, but now often pixillates badly with the new one. The DVB-T picture is a lot better, but I don't get all the channels with a portable aerial.
The poor RF performance is compounded by the silly situation that Media Center (sic) insists that it must detect an IR remote before it will allow choosing an STB as an input, rather than an aerial, hence preventing the use of the SVideo input on the PC - i.e the installation aborts if an IR remote is not detected.
Apart from that & the fairly noisy hard disk, I've been happy with it..
