found & fixed the one in probeCard(), can't find the comment you refer
to for the 4062 tuner & SECAM.  There is a seperate placeholder for a Temic
SECAM tuner in the TUNER array, but I don't see it colliding with
the TEMIC_PAL tuner.

no idea what their for, Amancio?  I've put your comments in the source and
replaced the above 4 #s with defines of MAGIC_[1-4] for now.  get some
alternate #s for PAL to me and I'll whip up some code to "do the good
thing" based on input format.
