A clue, yes indeedy.

Type 4 tuner means that the tuner was not recognized (I know, why  
can't it just say so), so you appear the have joined the Hauppauge  
"Tuner of the Week" club.

You can try various tuner types (my 150 happens to be 50) and see if  
one of the known types is close enough to yours to work (sometimes  
the differences are with channels you never use etc.). This is  
somewhat tedious, but can work.

You could also try the IVTV fora, and see if somebody there has run  
into this tuner. If they don't know about it yet they would be happy  
to have your info, as this seems to be a very new tuner module.
