I've both tuners. I'm using OTA HD. Both record equally well, no
reception problems whatsoever. I had to keep them one pci slot apart
though. So, HD3K is in slot 1 and Lite is in slot 3.
Also, both lite and gold have 5th generation chipset. Someone said its
4th gen, but they are wrong. Goto the dvico website and do comparison.
The digital portion is SAME, only the analog is different. Lite has 8
bit bt878 whereas gold has 10bit cx chipset. Gold also comes with
remote and tons of the other *windows* software. Lite is $50 cheaper
than gold.

I've got a 3000 and two 5 Lites. My 3000 previously worked flawlessly tuning QAM under Gentoo. Now, under FC4 the 3000 routinely has an issue where it loses sound causing the frontend to eat memory. It's a recording issue, not playback, because the "issue" will re-occur in the same spot every time. No one on the 3000 side has been able to help, so I'll switch to the Lite if it'll work. Unfortunately, I don't believe that support has been baked into ATRPMS yet.
