Easy, I passed it a bad tuner ID.  It's not likely that it will happen 
in the course of regular events, but if someone was implementing a poor 
method of querying a tuner (as I did on my first attempt) and picked or 
used the wrong ID, it seems better that the backend return a failure 
rather than dying.
