Hello,

if you're back from your business trip, I'm still waiting for a solution 
  to these issues:

1) I need the sources corresponding to my kernel or a firmware update. 
Either way I need them to be in sync.

2) A way to build an image to upload to the tv

An additional item is that if RELEASE is statically linked to uClibc, 
according to the LGPL you should also provide an object that can be 
linked to uClibc.

In the end I should be able to build the same kernel as supplied on the 
tv and the same RELEASE by linking it to the provided uClibc.

Bye
