I have both cards and the DVICO receiver performs much better.  The HD3000 would not lock or would occasionally lose lock on many of my local stations.  The DVICO only loses lock under very bad weather conditions. 

Another thing, for awhile I had both in my Myth box at the same time, I was using the HD3000 as a second, lower priority tuner but when connected to the same antenna, they would interfer which each other and I believe I got a bit of a ground loop since the DVICO card would get warm.  I finally replaced the HD3000 with a second DVICO Fusion 5 lite and it has been working great.

I've been following MythTV lists for a while and seem to recall that
the DVICO Fusion 5 cards have a newer generation HDTV tuner than the
HD3000 card. Is this correct? If so, can anyone speak to improvements
due to the newer tuner, such as picture quality, channel locking,
channel switching etc?

My primary use of either card will be for ATSC only. At this point
I'm leaning towards the DVICO Fusion 5 Lite simply because it is more
current hardware and appears to have good in kernel support. I was
also pleased by how fast it seemed that in kernel support came along
after the hardware was released. (Seemed like only a 2 or 3 months!)
