After a little wait (~ 3 weeks), having asked ASUS to provide me with the source code for the drivers to the DMB-TH Digital TV receiver, I finally got two tarballs of the source code. One step closer to an open source friendly solution to watch Digital TV in China and Hong Kong.
It took a little persuasion to convince the technical support team at ASUS that I was entitled to the source as it was based on GPL code, but once they understood, and had asked their supervisor/ R&D department about it. It was just a matter of waiting for the R&D dept to get time to do it.
I was very impressed with ASUS in general - their tech response times for product support where pretty amazing (usually answering within a few hours). If you have the option of buying ASUS, I can highly recommend their email tech support. Friendly, positive, and responsive.
The driver modifications are all to drivers/media/dvb/*, and consist mostly of 2 new files dealing with the demodulator, and a rather unfortunate hack at db3000mc.c - Basically replacing the core of that file with the routines for the Legend chip. Rather than creating a new file (which looks like it would have been a far better idea).
Anyway, I'm going to try building these changes against a recent kernel, then see if I can sort out the db3000mc mess. If anyone want's to help out, drop me an email and I can send you the files.
