HP TV card installation, HELP!, How-to?

[readysetgo]

Hi. Can those of you with experience with TV cards lend me a hand? I'm reinstalling an HP PC for a friend. The PC comes with an HP branded TV card for which I can't find any drivers on the HP driver site.

What to do? Google gives not helpful results, only giving up a site that SELLS the products. No sign of a driver download. My lack of experience with TV cards and corresponding software is slowing me down here.

The card model is : HP PN: 5187-6695

Help? Please.

I couldn't find anything with that part number, but Google led me to this:

I'm not certain if it is correct or not.

You need the HP Computer Model Number to properly search the HP Site for Drivers
Also, if you are using Windows Media Center, it already has drivers for most TV Cards
built in. If not, then we need more information about the card itself.

An FCC ID Number would be a HUGE help in tracking down who manufactured it

I just tried that for him. Apparenntly its only available on the HP disks. Found a european site that sells the card (lots of $$$).

But, you can try THIS closest thing I could find. Also, try Here. might work.

Huge leads. Thank you guys.

I'll get right to work. Will post back with results.

Will be back ASAP with FIC ID number. Can you give clues to help in identifying said id?
