I popped the metal shield off the tuner and see a single IC.  It's
labeled Philips TSA5059T/03112001 (date code?)

The main IC on the PCB is a Conexant Fusion 878A.  To the right of it is
the Winbond W78E52F-24/101811302/300ACNA (demodulator?).  The two ICs
above the 878A are Philips 74HC2440.  The IC next to the capacitors is
an ST LNBP15SP.

Is any of this info useful?

Thanks,

mike.
