I've used DVB-T cards for years, never heard of Artec. Have used Pinnacle, Terratec, Hauppauge & Dvico. Without doubt, Hauppauge are the big name in pc tv & I would commend them to any user. The products aren't bug free, but the team behind them jump on bugs like a colonel with a fly whisk. All the other brands I mention have dropped in flawlessly into my builds.
