It's Matrox' own chip - known as the Maven - Nothing to do with BrookTree (The makers of the BTxxx series chips). What revision it is? I don't know.

Ah, hold on. Not that it really matters, but I've understood you wrong. I thought you meant tv-out (which is the maven chip), but you meant TV-in, Sorry. Anyway, I'm not too sure about the TV in, but on my Rainbow Runner-G Series, I can set it up to view SECAM broadcast channels, which is what I believe is the variation on PAL which is used in france? Can anyone else help here?
The hardware compression chip for video capture is a Zoran chip if it helps.

If you mean encrypted channels, I don't know of any software which will decode on the Matrox hardware. Try over on the DTV forum and see if they know.
