Yes, the Marvel G400 comes standard with video input, output (and on some
modules) a TV tuner (The Marvel is similar hardware to ATI's "All-in-Wonder"
product line).  Some of the high-end cards also have video inputs standard.
You can add video in and TV tuning to most G-series video cards with the
Rainbow Runner-G series upgrade card.

As for the G450, there is the Marvel G450 eTV.  I don't think many people
have seen this yet, so it's tough to predict how well this will work with
the current mgavideo drivers.  The big difference is that this product lacks
hardware MJPEG compression and uses software codecs for capture (and in
theory should be easier to support the hardware features, but more difficult
to incorporate capture).

Does Matrox have some card with Video-In standard?
(and now, when they discontinue G400, - if G450 has video-in, may be not
standard but some options?)

Thanks again!
