Bjorn: I'd start by looking at the chips. Take off the cover and shoot a nice steady well-light high resolution digital picture of the board. Possible also shoot additional zoomed photos of the major chips if the primary picture can be detailed enough. Do that and it should be the only time you'll have to pop the cover - since we can always go back and look at the photos again. Knowing the chips that are present we can probably make a fair guess about whether or not the pvrusb2 driver has a chance of working with it. If so, then there's more experiments to do (one of which involves capturing USB traffic as you suspect). As for my time and interest, I am interested in seeing this work. But as we approach the holidays my time is going to get progressively more scarce. I have another hobby which involves a capella harmony and as you might imagine that gets pretty busy towards the holidays. Even now this is already starting to ramp up. Start with some board photos first; that will probably give an idea of how easy / difficult this effort will likely be. After that we can worry about time and effort. (Fact is, getting this device going has been a desire of multiple people over several years so in the overall grand scheme of things a few weeks is not a big effect.) -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
