Policy for handling the TV panel buttons.

On the TV panel there are 6 functional buttons, which should be handled as described below:

Button name	Key ID value	should work like:
Source key	KEY_PANEL_SOURCE	KEY_ENTER
Menu key	KEY_PANEL_MENU	KEY_RETURN
Volume Up key	KEY_PANEL_VOL_UP	KEY_RIGHT
Volume Down key	KEY_PANEL_VOL_DOWN	KEY_LEFT
Channel Up key	KEY_PANEL_CH_UP	KEY_UP
Channel Down key	KEY_PANEL_CH_DOWN	KEY_DOWN

If the widget has the volume control functonalities, the panel buttons should work as navigation buttons.

The implementation is very simple - please take look at the example below:

case tvKey.KEY_RETURN:
case tvKey.KEY_PANEL_MENU:
    alert("RETURN");
    ...
break;

case tvKey.KEY_UP:
case tvKey.KEY_PANEL_CH_UP:
    alert("UP");
    ...
break;

case tvKey.KEY_ENTER:
case tvKey.KEY_PANEL_SOURCE:
    alert("ENTER");
    ...
break;
