Hello.

After viewing the oem22.inf file which appears to be the driver for 
Vista i have come across the following words which might help you define 
tuner or demodulator :
HC81R HC81_C (this is the AVerTV Hybrid Express Slim model)
XC3028 + Afa9013
NT.6
XCeive_L+FM+Afa9013
CX885
oem22.inf:Models.NT.6:CX23885.HC81_C:1.12.0.76:pci\ven_14f1&dev_8852&subsys_d9391461 
(this is the driver)
A885VCap
cx416enc
CX88

this was in another .inf file :
bda

Inside the oem22.inf there was a sector regarding my model which follows :

I have no idea what i am doing and i am this close to opening the 
express card case but the loss of 2 years warranty and the possibility 
of damaging this 100€ card during the process is holding me back.

I should mention that, for the time being, i am mainly interested in 
analog tv and fm radio as there are only 3 digital channels around here 
which require a decoder.

Thank you.
Regards.
