I am not aware that there are any devices available which support as
many videostandards as those devices which use firmware.
As for em28xx based devices there have been a couple of
em2870-zl10353-mt2060 based devices around.
Whatever devices you'll use with xc3028, xc3028L, xc4000, xc5000
they'll require a firmware esp. because those silicon tuners require
special firmware/codes for the different modes. Same counts for many
Micronas designs.

I can recommend the Terratec Hybrid XS FM which is fully supported,
you can get them for a good price on Ebay what I saw yesterday when
looking at all their prices.
