    If on the front, there should be a MFG Part#, along with the MFG. Also on the back, there should be a FCC#. You can use Everest, and it should detect the make and model of the card.

    It should show as "PC Tuner, or Video Device". Attach the Data file from Everest in .txt format, and we can go through it (make sure to edit out any licensing stuff for your OS, and other purchased software).

    Otherwise, a nice picture of the card helps (make sure clear, and do not try to telephoto the shot where it is blurry and fuzzy). FCC# and MFG part# helps really well in finding out the device.

    I am not seeing that you have a Tuner card in there. The video card is a ATI x800 XL, which is a Hi-Def video card. What is the model and Mfg of the computer (if OEM), and if it was built, are you sure that there is a Tuner card in there? If there is, there should be a 75ohm CATV connection on the card rail above the Video connector.

    Take a picture of the card, and post it here.

    I need the MFG info along the Pins. Also, please do not hold it along the "fingers", due to you will get body oil on them, and that can cause problems, but no biggie. Also, is there any silkscreened manufacturer info on the back?

    I have a question, the reason you are asking, are you having problems with the Video controler (ie MCE not picking it up during install), or just wanting to know?
