there are at least two interesting components on this pci card.
one black chip with alot of pins: 
"PHILIPS \ SAA 7146A H \ CG0532.00 \ kt0222V3"
and a metal box with some other stuff inside and the connecter for the
sat cable. There's also some text:
"PHILIPS \ SU1278/SH \ 3112 297 12871 \ 214 HJ11 GA00136"
it's probably the tuner, isn't it?!
When I find some camera I'll send a picture :-)

How can I help? Do you need any more information?
