Combined with Beyond TV and Beyond Media, XtremeTV gives users a TV watching and recording experience that simply cannot be matched by any other PVR product. Stealth and Viper Video CardsAll Diamond video cards also carry the Diamond guarantee of quality assurance. Unlike many cards that are simply first to market, Diamond carefully tests and retests every new model for its ratio of performance to reliability. Diamond is legendary in the PC video card business for its low return rates less than 1 percent versus an industry average of approximately 10 percent and attributes this to its intensive testing, detailed product knowledge down to the component level, superior relationships with suppliers and unyielding commitment to quality. Diamond cards use superior connectors, cables and components, as well as undergo more thorough testing for heat susceptibility and durability, and this is directly reflected in its superior track record of longevity at the highest levels of performance.
