At least it would be nice if it is exposed for users which do signal-less 
operations on certain cards which tend to look up if the tuner is not shut 
down properly (for the same cards it would be a good thing to shut the the 
tuner if the signal is not detected anymore and just try in intervals again 
by the user-ware, of course the driver could also be so intelligent...)
