Modern silicon RF tuners used nowadays has many controllable gain stages on signal path. Usually, but not always, there is at least 3 gain stages. Also on some cases there could be multiple gain stages within the ones specified here. However, I think that having these three controllable gain stages offers enough fine-tuning for real use cases. 1) LNA gain. That is first gain just after antenna input. 2) Mixer gain. It is located quite middle of the signal path, where RF signal is down-converted to IF/BB. 3) IF gain. That is last gain in order to adjust output signal level to optimal level for receiving party (usually demodulator ADC). Each gain stage could be set rather often both manual or automatic (AGC) mode. Due to that add separate controls for controlling operation mode.
