It's an old "Pinnacle system PCI Tv Tuner"
allows a desktop pc to receive signals from a TV.
You should get a huge TV screen, and then connect it to a wireless PC with a cable box as well as internet and video games and then you could have a media center.

the one you have is a little old school... you should stick to using a USB. Sometimes they come with a remote.
Maybe you could take it apart or something?
Basically you could use it to record TV if you want to.

Isn't there a way to pirate tv with this?

Nope. You have to plug this TV card in to the TV coaxial cable that comes out of the ground. If your provider uses TV-over-IP(ethernet->settop box -> TV) or a normal decoder box between the coax and your normal TV, you're fucked.
And no, your PC can not decode it if it's scrambled.
All this card allows you to do is record programs like a DVR.

Why are people so GODDAMN stupid. Or course not.
Its from 1953. Its old alien technology stolen from Des Moines crash or 1840.
Dunno where you are but it's probably an old analog card and most civilised countries are on digital now. You would have to plug it into a digital set top box to get tv in.
You can plug a camcorder or other device with analog 1v output or shvs into the other connectors tho.
i have something similar i use to watch analog security cameras on the computer. some ATI video cards are supposed to be able to read the analog video input from the TV card and display it directly without tying up the CPU but i have yet to find how to enable that function.

You could probably use it to 'pirate' the free over the air broadcasts in your area.

You can pirate TV by going on a thing called the internet and watching anything for free.

Gotta go back to like windows xp to do that shit. The cards could read and wright directly to system ram w/o talking to the cpu is how it worked. It's very insecure so its disabled now.

>And no, your PC can not decode it if it's scrambled.
Actually you could do just that and descramble Canal+ and probably some other channels too. Worked like a charm even on a 486, just had to download fresh keys every now and then.
But this was like nearly 20 years ago when everything was broadcast analogue and that's on its way out in all civilised countries.

Depending on specs of the tuner perhaps you could make it listen to some interesting shit like ADS-B or FSTV. But you would need custom drivers and software for that. It's more /g/ than /diy/.

>its more /g/ than /diy/.
It should be but the majority of /g/ are useless neckbeards. Just like /o/, most of them just spout memes it seems. Ive had much bettter luck coming to /diy/ with any problem includng auto. The only thing g is good wuth is programming.
