Here's what I know of the HD-3000 card.

pcHDTV has sold the last of their HD-2000 cards.  The new card in
production is the HD-3000.  This card is almost identical except it has
a newer Oren HD tuner chip and it will also have S-Video in.  The card is
planned to be availible in the next couple weeks.  Windows drivers are
also planned for this card.  

The reason for the newer Oren HD tuner chip is that the one used in the
HD-2000 is out of production.  The new chip is unlikely to have any
difference in performance/quality/tuning.
