select * from settings group by hostname;

That will give you a list of every hostname in the settings table.

delete from settings where hostname = 'hostnameyoudonotwant';

This doesn't have anything to do with the hostnames in your settings  
table.

Run mythtv-setup, delete all tuners from all backends and set them up  
again. This will get rid of any erroneous tuner setups and restart  
them numbering from 1 again. This is often the cure for "I can't  
figure out what's really wrong with my multiple tuners".
