I think that they are still frequently higher quality than even the best
software decoders as well...

Check out the discussions in the forums at www.avsforum.com in the HTPC -
for example there are people there using £700 tv capture cards because the
quality of the de-interlacing which is claimed to vastly exceed that of even
DScaler.

Looks like the new Sigma Designs card (Xvideo?) could be the new hot decoder
device, replacing the old Hollywood plus card.  No linux driver though...
(boo).  Shame it has RGB output and everything needed to be a very high
quality output device.
