ABSTRACT:
A circuit and method for adjusting the operating characteristics of a tuner in accordance with information derived from the signals being processed by the tuner. Depending upon signal type and/or signal strength, the power levels of certain components are adjusted and/or certain components are added to (or subtracted from) the tuner.
