There is an TDA 9886 on it (which is not detected I think. -Tried the 3DFx
Voodoo-Card which seems to have the same tuner and I hoped for some other
familiarities but had no luck) 

The Card has also an MSP 3450G (which is detected) and a BT 878A
The Board-Revision is EMPTYV-51012969-1.4

But I have to correct myself: The Card is not a Studio but a PCTV pro (without
Studio) -I went in some confusion because its not my own. I have it lying on my
Desk now, but I can� t fid the layout in Gunther Mayer Gallery. So I think
-according to the article- the Pinnacle-Cards have a complete new Design.
Tomorrow I send Gunther some nice Pictures of it.
