Hi
i wonder if any one can help me in finding a library containing the footprint of generic TV tuner... i am using orcad layout.. and i am new to pcb design.... so any comments or suggestions will be very helpful
thanks
 

break apart an existing lib part and make one using the design rules
if you need read the manual on how its done

its that simple
other than this for lazy people or complex footprints there are several companies allow download of pcb dxf files
these will happily import {via orcads import pcb dxf file} you need to hunt about in files menu in the ide to find it or other {long time since i used orcad}

you will find that tv tuners footprints in dxf format exist from many sources on the net

others can place a link here to a favorate if they like
 

If such a thing as a generic or universal footprint for a rf tuner, if can or rf modulator exists I have never seen one, even from philips, siel, thomson, sharp, .....

Always create a footprint for such specific devices.

If you are new to your EDA software then creating your own footprints is a skill you will need to develop anyway. So do both at the same time.

Using the manufacturers data sheet to create your SCH decal and PCB footprint you will gain experience on your software package AND get the footprints you want.

You will win both ways.
