The card is indeed bt848 based.  Tom called STB today for a book on the 
card, from I could tell, they are quite willing to give out necessary 
info to interface with the card.  The card uses the pci bus to move all 
it's data.  It's not a bad card, and it comes with nice Wintel drivers as 
well.  It takes coax or s-video in.
