I recently got this card in and have no idea who made it.
Anybody have an idea of what it is (I browsed through th99 with no luck, and google
didn't help much either)?
Pictures:

the end).
http://home.neo.rr.com/unknownk/images/100_0896.jpg (The card itself)
The main card is LV-007 and the TV tuner part is LV-008
Major chips are CHIPS F82C9001, Phillips Saa 7151B, Phillips 9065.
I am pretty sure it is a video capture/TV tuner card but I need to find out who made it to
find drivers. The cable on top would be to connect to a VGA card I would think, but it
looks like it also has VGA cable to put inline with VGA output (redundant?). The little
connector on the bezel side bottom looks like a mini headphone jack.
The card came a little bent (they used a padded mailer and not a box for shipping) and EC4
is gone (but not found in the mailer, you can see what's left of the cap pins floating
in air above and to the right of the 24.576 oscillator top middle of the card), wonder if
that cap is even needed.
Any ideas?

I'm not quite sure, but this looks like a C&T PBTV card. It's a receiver
card that hooks inline to your existing display and audio (hence the weird
cable). One of the earliest TV cards.

Looks like it could be one of the old Lifeview (http://www.lifeview.com.tw/)
cards (see http://www.lifeview.com.tw/). It might be worth asking them.
http://www.ampr.poznan.ws/users/sp3uqs/video/index.html shows an earlier (or
later?) version of the card.
Another possibility is the Creative Labs Video Blaster - see
http://zigamorph.net/vb/ .
In any case, I think you might have some real trouble finding drivers....

On http://dg3aaf.no-ip.com:8080/sites/bttv%20gallery.htm there is a Genius
LiveView LV-005 so I'd say it's a Genius Card, but I haven't found anything
else useful.

I would think genius just private labeled the card, liveview sounds like the
original manufacturer. There is a www.liveview.com.tw but I can't read
Chinese, using www.archive.org I found out that www.liveview.com has been
used for porn since the 90's (figure).
I think the card is probably from the early 1990's

I think the card is probably from the early 1990's
Date codes seem to indicate circa 1992.
There's also another Taiwanese TV card maker; Animation Technologies (been
around since 1990), who offers the LifeView TV cards.
http://www.lifevew.com.tw, but I don't see anything that's as old as yours.
You might drop them a support email and ask them if they recognize your
card. There's a US affiliate in Fremont, CA, but their website mostly
redirects to the main one in Taiwan: http://www.lifeview.com.
