This pci tuner card was included in an Asus S'presso barebone from AsusTek. As can be seen from that ASUS product page, the included device is supposed to be an ASUS TV/FM card, however, as the pictures illustrate this is a completely different device (apparently, this is not an isolated case: see [1] and [2]. The card is actually a Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP Expert, which itself, given the LR6611 board markings, is likely an OEM from LifeView.

This page will be moved accordingly soon.
