Do you have any reception problems that an alignment would correct? If you have good sound and a clear detailed picture now, its probably better left alone as it will be hard to improve by alignment and its very easy to mess up and make it worse.
I'm going to align the audio first. Just as a learning experience. I'm leaving the tuner alone!
