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.
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.
