Ok, I hope you manage to get through to them.

I found a contact form on the Philips site - it's very well hidden! I've asked
them for the software details for the chip.

I don't see why this would be any different to the WinTV PVR 250 driver. The
microcode itself isn't distributed. People get the driver files from the
manufacturer and extract the microcode using a script. 

But hopefully Philips or TechnoTrend will provide us with the necessary
information and we can avoid the need to do this.
