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!
