How do I find which TV tuner card (Manufacturer name) is installed inside my
PC (HCL beanstalk nano? A RF input socket is installed in my PC. My Windows
XP media center is not detecting any TV signal from my Satelite reciever
which is throwing a RF out put.?

There are currently no PC tuners that can receive a satellite signal much
less ones supported by MC.

Ignore my previous post if it is still available.
Normally the only way to find the manufacturer of a video card is to open
the system and find the data on the card since what your system knows is
data about the tuner chip on the card and not the card data itself.
Did you tell MC setup that you have a STB and do you have a MC IR blaster
connected to change the channel on the STB.

Satellite signals do show on MCE cpus.
I currently am wondering if I am digital or not.
I know I am not HD, and most older pc's are not HD, but they do seel them
for decent prices on tiger direct

If you have a digital tuner in your PC you would only be able to receive OTA
digital broadcasts with an antenna.
If you are getting is channels 2-67 then all you have is an analog tuner
which.
There are no satellite tuners for a PC if you are receiving a signal from a
satellite STB then you are receiving it in 480i SD over coax or S-video
regardless of the resolution of the actual satellite program.
