I've put two CPU-heatsinks (for Pentium I) on the tuner and a heatsink on
the ARM (AV7110) and one on the bridge (SA7146).
Mounting is very easy. Put "Wärmeleitpaste" (german, don't know the word in
english) onto the tuner/chips. Clean two edges of the tuner/chips from the
"Wärmeleitpaste" and put "Sekundenkleber" (german, don't know the word in
english) onto the edges. That way you can also remove the heatsinks later.

Don't put the glue into the center of the chips, as the core will have less
heat-transfer then.
