that we find on the recent saa7131 Kworld Global TV Terminator and on
its OEM versions with KS003 i2c remote chip. (old one 7f)

like for the Empire Enjoy TV and the MSI TV (at) nywhere Plus, you can use
the older Kworld Terminator card=65 entry, but your remote won't work,
since the old board has a gpio remote, the old tda8275C1 and not the
newer analog/digital hybrid tda8275AC1. (both tuner=54)

Therefore the layout of the board has also changed. From this, all those
newer cards seem to be identical to the MSI TV (at) nywhere Plus (card=82),
also with tda8275AC1 and KS003 chip, but an older version with different
PCI subdevice in the eeprom and older tda8275c1 exists (Mark Schultz)
and needs to be added too. (also KS003 already)

For this new KS003 and also KS007 i2c remote controllers are patches
around since Nov. 2005 by Henry Wong, but also for latest versions not
yet picked up or reviewed again. (Kworld ATSC110, Dwaine Garden)

Only on latest stuff hopefully all inputs like radio and others are
fixed for card=82, else prefer card=65 until support for the new remote
type is added.  

Cheers,
Hermann
