I used this method to disable the horrible tuner on a Fujitsu-Siemens FF 
dvb-c card.

This thread also contains some methods to do it.

I haven't experienced any major problems with the
if (IsPrimaryDevice())
    return false;
trick, but I have kept the ff-card still plugged in, since there have 
been reports that they tend to crash without signal.
With one budget card there were a few recordings that had stopped after 
5-6min of recording from the YLE-mux, but I did not have time to debug 
the cause. I haven't seen that problem again after I added a second 
budget card to the system (or at least there haven't been any reports, 
that's my parents' vdr-box :) )
