Not brooktree, conexant and that's merely the mpeg encoding chip (the analog a/v decoder to my knowledge is not supported at all but it doesn't really need to be). > Personally, I would go for either the 150 (price) or the 500 (if you > can find one).

I don't think so, certainly not the usb sticks. There is quite a lot of good info available online especially for the analog a/v decoder from TI, as well as for Empia's USB integration. Tuners used on virtually all modern (read: hybrid) cards and sticks are mostly xceive or microtune. Neither is very keen on disclosing much information it seems.
