Good luck.

The info is hard to find.  Also, the problem is aggravated because
many times a particular tuner is only built for a while and is then
discontinued (and ends up at Halted ;-).  

You may want to consider a tuner module still in production.  You'll
still need to find docs, but at least you'll have a better chance.
