Series2 in PAL

Perhaps you should mention how one may contact you anonymously because there may just be someone who has the right information reading this thread as we speak.

My website (link is in each and every post I make in my signature) contains my email address. I am sure if one genuinely wanted to help they can find a public terminal, obtain an email address, and email me. From there I am happy to give out better ways of contacting myself. I used to publish my mobile (cell) phone number but although people could read the numbers to dial the correct number they could not read the correct numbers for the times you can and cannot contact me so I withdrew it. I do have a family and a real job so getting calls all hours into the evening is not the done thing.

Failing that one can always send me a private message on this forum.

I'm sure there are other ways people can contact me. I'm not a very private person and just reading my website can give a few more clues if one is genuinely interested in helping the cause.

Another thing I've found when working with these chips is that the vendor doesn't always give out the datasheets "Willy Nilly" usually all we get is a precompiled library with an easy to use API for performing the needed tasks on the chip and if there's any issues with that API the vendor will support that rather than giving out a register reference to fix it yourself. (Which does make me wonder, has TiVo been lazy and just used one of these libraries?) So it's not always as straight forward as getting register reference datasheets.

True. However I am assuming that there is more than simply a subset of registers or an API in the possession of "example3891" (and others) given the wording "As somebody who has access to the information you need".

However I could be wrong. Like I have said previously I've seen zero evidence of anything so therefore until someone wants to step up to the plate anyone could be telling OzTiVo any old story, including yourself with what you have already divulged about how Broadcom conducts their document control.
