I've both tuners. I'm using OTA HD. Both record equally well, no<br>reception problems whatsoever. I had to keep them one pci slot apart<br>though. So, HD3K is in slot 1 and Lite is in slot 3.<br><br>Also, both lite and gold have 5th generation chipset. Someone said its

<br><br>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.
