Yes, it's supported but so is my old ATI-RagePro IIc, ie: despite the
vendor, not because.
Also you basically don't get the full range of adjustments possible with
a documented chipset. On my Geforce2mx with BT869, I can adjust
the overscan/underscan, define new underscan/overcan modes, and adjust
just about every other parameter the BT869 supports. Even the Chrontel
is capable of most of this (see nvtv).
Now for other reasons I might go with a built-in video chipset
(power, cooling, size), but I wouldn't expect it to offer the
features a dedicate/documented encoder chip supports.
