Through other contacts I'm also trying to obtain it. Basically it is a case of hoping Conexant will see the light and be willing to release the datasheet (possibly under an NDA) for the purposes of writing a GPL driver.

Re: [ivtv-devel] CX23418 support
I wouldn't be holding my breath either - I was developing some hardware last year and Conexant were quite insistent I should spend €€ € with one of their development partners to get datasheets (I think it was about £12 GBP!!!). So I used someone else's IC's. Hope you get them though.
