Looks like the equivalent for the cards we know and love for the PC instead...

Aye, would be interesting to know what it does compared to the cards in the Amiga version, and if the graphics came out of this card rather than some other standard PC graphics card. Because as we know the Tan Guide scrolled smoothly and PCs couldn't really do that :)

Super interesting! I wonder if this and other hardware is becoming easier to find since some of the TV Guide units have probably been decommissioned and thrown away since the grid was removed from the channel (in some places). Wonder if it's worth asking the seller if they have/had any other TV Guide stuff?

Has anyone picked up one of this? is it worth buying do you think?

I bought one. Haven't gotten a chance yet but I should take it apart and post pictures. Looks like a neat board.
