Not true at all. I've done delete all 3 times, and am up to tuners 
12-15. The only way to get back to one is to delete all tuners, then 
modify the capture card table to reset the auto-increment field back to 
0, then re-add your cards. Or you could modify the table directly to 
change the ID's. I'm NOT advocating doing either of those, there is no 
need, and if you do, I take no responsibility for what happens.
