Hi Hermann...

Thanks for taking the time to write back...

There is extensive information about the Kworld 120 here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kworld_ATSC_120
...we've added information to it down through the months.

[From the above page:]
---------------------
Major components used

     * Xceive XC3028 (tuner & analog IF demodulator)
     * Samsung S5H1409 (digital demodulator, Conexant CX24227 compatible)
     * Conexant cx23880 (A/V Decoder & PCI bridge)
---------------------
Status

As of 27 Mar 2008 and revision 7448 of the main v4l-dvb repository, this 
card can be used in both analog and digital ATSC modes via a set of 
experimental drivers. The FM radio, composite video, and S-Video inputs 
all work when the card is initialized into analog mode. Due to a 
resource conflict in the driver caused by this card's architecture, a 
reboot is necessary to switch between analog and ATSC modes. The cause 
of this issue has been located, and work is ongoing to fix it.

The remote control is not currently supported in any mode, yet.

The Line-out jack is somewhat functional, but is not considered ready to 
use, yet.
