I'm interested in the delete hostname function since I happen to have a few leftover invalid entries in my DB from changing my hostname without doing it the "mythtv way".<br>

Let me just mention that if the old settings associated with old hostnames were actually a problem, MythTV would include a mechanism for getting rid of them. As it is, keeping them in place wastes about 8kiB of storage space on your hard drive--maybe 16kiB at most, depending on a few factors.<br>
<br>
That's not megabytes or gigabytes... We're talking less than 16384 bytes. And, in truth--because of the way file systems work--that's probably space that was already wasted (as empty, but allocated, space) due to the file system's block size.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>point taken. I guess my only remaining reason for getting rid of the old ones is that:<br>- I'd like to re-use those hostnames without inheriting the bungled settings currently in there.<br>- it will look cleaner in mythweb's drop down box.<br>
<br>Is there a way to return a hostname entry to defaults? If so I could probably live with the clutter in mythweb's hostname selection box. :)<br><br>Matt<br>
