The reason it was hard coded only for this tuner is because I thought this was the only tuner that worked this way. Now that we know the A180 is also this way, and that these are the only NXT2004 based cards that I am aware of, it would probably be the easiest to just write directly to the tuner on all NXT2004 based card. Just put a switch statement to write to the tuner on NXT2004 based cards and to the NXT chip on NXT2002 based cards. This way we would not have to have to have to add another parameter.
