Re: [tvcontrol-api] Why retrieve a list of tuners instead of just one tuner?

Some TVs from major manufacturers will contain more than one type of 
tuner (e.g. cable and terrestrial, or satellite and terrestrial), and 
I have seen TVs and STBs with three types of tuner (cable, satellite 
and terrestrial).  We can't assume that all tuners will be able to 
receive the same set of channels, or that all of them will have an 
input connected.

The list of tuners seems to be the only entry point to getting a 
channel list or EPG data, so unless that is made available in another 
way then a web app has no choice but to use `getTuners`.
