I used some parts from a previous HP computer. It was model m7160n. One part was the TV tuner. The shop supposedly installed the card, but it isn't recognized by my computer. My computer doesn't show any tv tuner in the "system" window. Maybe I'm not looking in the right area, or just don't know what to look for?

I opened the case up and it's in the PCI slot, however there is a connection on the card itself that has nothing connected to it. I'm wondering if this is where my issue is. HP gave me an ASUS driver to use, but it doesn't recognize any capture device.

Does anyone know how/what the tv tuner card should be connected? Is simply dropping it into the PCI slot enough? Anything I can try, or look for to help me get this thing working?
