A Linux forum suggest that the Lite version (99063) doesn't have the remote that the non-Lite version (00294) does, but searches for the non-Lite say it doesn't have one either.
No idea. They aren't the same, but details on the differences are vague to non-existent. Go with the non-Lite if you want to play it safe.
Regardless, unless you're sat near the top of a hill, with an almost clear view of the mast, you'll need a decent aerial in the attic or on the roof. Those little aerials supplied with the cards and dongles are completely hopeless in 90% of cases, so keep that in mind.
