RC5 allows for 32 different device addresses which are used to select a
specific device.

The driver of the _full-featured_ cards can be configured to listen to
a single device address or listen to all addresses.
av7110_loadkeys may be used to change these settings.

If you are using the remote plugin, you don't have to care about that
stuff, as it will automatically find the device address of the remote
control and configure the driver accordingly.

Anyway, you need a remote transmitter which can be configured not to
use the device address of your TV set.
