I guess that you mean, if then virtual tuner count again will be 2?
The answer is yes.
And also about numbering. I you 'delete on all', numbering resets to
starting at 1. If you 'delete on this host only' numbering continues
where it stopped.
This is because in the first case the table is truncated, so it can be
sure no lower numbers exist. If you only delete part of the tuners any
of the lower number could still be in use. (unless you add a test, but
the number of available numbers is enumerable for the purpose, so
unneeded))
