10 is a (useless to the end user) internal number that's used by MythTV
to identify the card. It has no bearing on the number of cards shown in
mythtv-setup, as it's an auto-increment value that may or may not be
contiguous values, and there may be "unseen" virtual cards, too.
So, you'll just have to go into the Input Connections and select each
one of the cards/inputs and look for the one that says "Please add
channels to this source" and change it to a proper channel number (as it
sounds like you've properly added channels to the source since you
originally configured the input).
(Yes, we realize this isn't user-friendly, but that's one more problem
with having an old legacy setup application that's going to be replaced
completely (making it hard to devote time to improving something that's
destined to disappear), not to mention the fact that we have far more to
do than time to do it.)
