I have the same problem with a Lorenzen DVB-T Budget I bought.
I send a mail to TechnoTrend some hours ago, maybe they could help
directly. Additional I will call "Philips Semiconductor Sales" in
Germany at monday or send them a fax.
Maybe someone here knows a technical contact person?
I didn't found any mail-address on the whole Philips site.

I always disassembled the windows driver but it wasn't really
useful for me. I am more a c/c++-freak than asm, so I am unable to
understand how the "millions" of indirect and massively nested
function-calls work I could see in the asm-source and what function
finally is call.
Maybe TechnoTrend used something like a "disassembler-blocker"...
I also don't think that the tool I used (PEDasm) was the best one for that
job.

I also think that ripping the microcode from the windows driver itself
will definitely illegal. So we need the permission from Philips for
that part.
