The Micronas msp 3415d b3 is the sound processor. Seems to be a PAL video card. Possibly Hauppage. If you are in Europe, it may work. In the US we have a FCC ID number that you can trace for any electronic device. It would be stenciled on the card. I imagine there is a similar ID system for Europe.

My old TV Tuner card is bot NTSC and PAL I'm not sure why they would make one for just PAL.

i am pretty sure it is pal since i do live in a pal area, i cannot find the driver for the tv card though. do you think the card might be damaged, or to old for xp or pentuim 4, or might my computer not recognize it until the driver is installed?
thanks a bunch
