Hmm. I thought I did this also (many times this past month), and I'm still 
up at tuners 5,6. (v .22-fixes on ubuntu)

How do I even delete tuners one at a time? I didn't see an option for 
that; just 'delete all tuners', and 'delete all tuners on hostname'.
(which was even more confusing because I named my host 'mythtv'.
