The USB stick consists of two boards: one with the USB and A/V
connectors, the other with the RF connector. The two boards are
joined(soldered) together with two 7 pin headers, one on each side of
the board. I am unwilling to unsolder the pins and risk damaging the
device, so whatever is inside the "sandwich" is still unknown.

Chips visible:
    Frontend: lgdt3303
    Tuner: xc3028ACQ
    There is also a CPLD: lc4032v

First, I'll be putting collected information here:
http://erik.wanderings.us/pub/PCTVHDPro/

Currently I have some usbsnoop logs, devices images, lsusb output, and
the inf file.
