I lay my meteor to rest . The quality if you can discern it should be better on the bt848 cards. It is very difficult to tell the difference over here. One simple minded test that I have not tried in a long time is to aim a camera at a steadily lit place and use vic to measure the frame rate or net rate of the transmission. If you have a noisy image capture it will show up in the trasmission rate. The last time I measured both meteors and bt848 cards on my system they where transmitting at approximately the same rate.
