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?
Nico

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.

That would be me :)
I have indeed, but don't have much to speak of seeing as when I started
I'd never touched Linux kernel-space driver development.
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!
Regards,

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.
