Alps makes tuners for digital video broadcast. It probably has an F connector and pins on one of the sides. There's not much you can do with it unless you have a data sheet and you really know what you're doing

They generally take in L-band and output at some IF frequency, probably 480MHz. You control the internal synthesizer through some of the pins.
 
Tried to search for a data sheet but couldn't find one. No surprise as I have tried getting information on Alps tuners in the past for something at work and had a difficult time. I think they OEM a lot of their products and data sheets are hard to come by. Without a data sheet, it's impossible to tell what this thing can be used for. Also, there's a lot of complexity in using one of these, probably several man months of engineering time. Too much trouble IMO.
