PCTV nanoStick T2 in stock - Driver work?
Hello The DVB-T2 USB stick appears to be in stock in the UK. Product page: http://www.pctvsystems.com/Products/ProductsEuropeAsia/Digitalproducts/PCTVnanoStickT2/tabid/248/language/en-GB/Default.aspx Play.com, Dabs and Amzon.co.uk list it as in stock. Is there any work started on a driver at this point? If no work has started, would a loan/donation of a stick help? What can be done to trigger/accelerate the provision of a driver?

Somebody would have to break down and reverse engineer the Sony T2 demod. I saw something over in mythtv-users where somebody took a unit apart and photographed it, and he's suggested that he's started working on a driver. http://stevekerrison.com/290e/index.html Devin -- Devin J.

At the moment I have hardware and usb data from myself and others. I'm hoping to publish some code that at least initialises the device with the Sony demod code stub'd so that I and whoever wants to join me, can attempt to get the demod to spit out some transport streams :) Donations won't get sony to give me the datasheet, so none requested right now. I actually have a free weekend coming up (a rare occurrence) in which I hope to make some further progress... Or the short answer: No hardware/donations needed, but things might take a while!

I could probably get it bootstrapped but without a signal source it would be very annoying (and I am not really willing to spend the three grand to pick up a T2 generator). That said, if you have any issues with the em2874 driver or questions about the hardware layout (I probably have the schematic kicking around here somewhere), let me know. Devin -- Devin J.
