In order to make this work (if I can) I need to know a lot more about
the hardware involved. Basically I need to have detailed pictures +
chip model numbers of the cx23418 hardware: which tuner is used, which
memory chips are used, which other audio or whatever chips are used...
So you would have to open up your box and do all this first. And it
might be that there are some chips for which I have no datasheet, in
which case it's never going to work. But I should be able to tell that
once I know which chips are used.
Regards,
Hans
