Hmmm, the message above is imho a bug of the software (or the
configuration). The daemon should never try to get tuner-info from the
camera. It should query the driver for the capabilities. The driver
will report VID_TYPE_CAPTURE, i.e. it has no tuner only capture
capability. So the daemon must not try to get further tuner
information.
