T507 driver is the missing piece. I suspect that SoC integrates many 
chips, USB-bridge (with IR etc.), DVB-T demodulator and analog decoder. 
Getting it work as DVB-T device is not mission impossible even without a 
specs. Reverse-engineering is fun ;-)

Generally speaking DVB-bridge is very simple, no problems at all to 
reverse. DVB demodulator is little bit harder but still possible without 
loosing even sensitivity. What you lose is configuration options like 
how IF frequency, SNR, BER is calculated. Tuners are most tricky as 
there is all kind of calibration routines etc. but in that case tuner 
driver exists.

That TDA18271 driver already exists - even two different drivers.
