Ok, I will contribute one candle for the project  ;-)

I got my demo video from Philips:
http://www.digitalnetworks.philips.com/InformationCenter/Global/FArticleSummary.asp?lNodeId=863&channel=863&channelId=N863A2283&lArticleId=2283
I used the 350k version of Dinner and I think it runs quit smoothly
except of some interrupts. And (of course) the sound is missing.
