I had many receivers but right now i also have a Pace 2600C1 Sky box which is claimed to have the best tuner of them all, it's a older Sharp tuner in that as well and i can say that my IPBOX outperforms it which surprised me.
My previous experience is that most receivers with Sharp tuners got the best sensitivity, they make great tuners, then it's up to the software makers to take advantage of it.
Just look at Enigma2 for DGS/IPBOX, the sensitivity is really bad compated to original and 3rd part images based on DGS.
This is because the current drivers for the Sharp tuners are really buggy. So I would actually not recommend getting a Sharp tuner for the IPBox for that reason. You won´t be happy if you try to go for Enigma 2 which actually seem to be the way forward for the IPBox.
I don´t find my connexant tuner bad at all. I also have a DM8000, and this one is just as good.
