A full dump of the ISE chip in the SA9234 PowerVu receiver has been posted here -

Go to Files, then FTA.
...and no, I don't know if this furthers the cause in opening up the system O-Ha
Probably not the time yet to dust my 9234 off...

I'm one of those posting at that forum about powervu.Look in the fta section.
I would advice to dust off your ird,and read the ISE chip,this will give you the provider keys.
Chances are,you might not need to be authorized,as long as the keys still valid in your ird,unless the provider changed them at some point.
The dissasembled eeprom/rom give you all you need to know about the system,in fact it is very simple,the main problem is it relies as much in private information as irdeto does (where you need keys from a subscription in order to stay up).
And another point is,to emulate without the ird,you might need to make a module to decrypt video using DES,since powervu,unlike most all other feeds out there,is not using CSA (still to be determined practically).
