 If I change a setting in the TV card properties (/dev/dvb/adapter 1
 instead of 0 for example) and save the changes with "Finish", the number
 of encoders for the device is increased by one. I have to return to the
 properties page again and decrease the number of simultaneous recordings
 to the previous value.

 Additionally, when a card is deleted and with it the total number of
 encoders it has (especially for the DVB cards that can support more than
 one recording, and then re-added, the now new device has different device
 number (encoders 2,3,4 were replaced by 21,22,23 for example, if I have 20
 encoders on the system). This way the encoder numbers are not consecutive
 and gaps in the encoder numbers exist. I had to do this during the s2api
 changes. Can they be tidied up without deleting all TV cards?

 TIA,

 Yianni.
