I agree that it doesn't make sense at first, but when I think about it there really isn't much reason to delete an active tuner - it will just get recognised again when the TV Server restarts so deleting it is a waste of time (except maybe to reset settings).No, that is not correct. That list basically shows all tuners that the OS knows about. Tuners that are being used by other software are still registered with the OS so they will still be available in the list.
