One other issue.  When those addresses are used, a device picks a random
number within the range and then does an arp request to see if it's in
use.  That doesn't happen when you assign an address as you've done
here.  This means that if your computer comes up after that tuner and
the tuner has already picked 169.254.1.1, you will have an address conflict.
