We had that once with a card that got too hot. After switching off the
computer for a while it worked again. We had to use a fan to cool it,
so that it wouldn't happen again.
If it doesn't work after a cooling down period there is probably
something wrong with the tuner :(. Sorry, but I guess that  short of replacing
the tuner, there won't be any easy solution.
