The tuner's datasheet. Assuming the tuner is fairly standard (and since 
tuner type 57 seems to work I think this is a reasonable assumption), 
the information that is needed can be found in tuner.c (or 
tuner-simple.c in the kernel), struct tunertype:

        unsigned short thresh1; /*  band switch VHF_LO <=> VHF_HI  */
        unsigned short thresh2; /*  band switch VHF_HI <=> UHF     */
        unsigned char VHF_L;    /*  band switch byte, low band     */
        unsigned char VHF_H;    /*  band switch byte, mid band     */
        unsigned char UHF;      /*  band switch byte, high band    */
        unsigned char config;   /*  config byte, aka control byte  */

This info comes from the datasheet.
