No, snowboards generally leave the factory tuned for whatever use they're designed for ("all-mountain freestyle", "park", "freestyle", "race", etc...).
What many snowboards will need, however, is to be "de-tuned" on the tips. De-tuning a board means, rounding the edges of the nose and tail, so that they don't catch when you're spinning tricks, or plowing through deep snow that might be hiding obstacles like branches, rocks, etc.
A simple file will do the job. Just smooth out the edges around the tips, but leave the "effective edge" (ie, the rails of the board... or, put another way, the edges that you turn with), sharp.
Boards that you intend to jib with... that is, sliding rails and boxes... might need additional de-tuning all around, so you don't catch an edge on a rail and knock your teeth out.
Hope it helps.

Why does your tv have snow on a couple of channels?
If you have "snow" or a fuzzy picture on your TV and you have satellite TV or cable with a satellite receiver box or cable box, you may have your TV tuned to the wrong channel. Televisions need to be "tuned" to a channel or sometimes input (i.e. HDMI, etc) in order for you to view your programming with satellite or cable receivers. Contact your pay television provider, they can talk you through it over the phone.
