As pointed out, tuning is "not trivial" and just like (for example) it's not possible to provide ready-made channel sets for the myriad of different use cases, I can't see that it will be possible to provide default DB tuning parameters for the myriad of different use cases.

That's just it though, when you take it internal you don't need to
consider different use cases as the only use case for the DB is
MythTV. The only considerations you need to take into account are
