Delete phantom tuners:

In mythweb -> backend status, find the cardid (encoder number on that 
page) of the cards you want to remove and then run the following sql, 
replacing xx with the encoder number:

delete from cardinput where cardid=xx;

then run:
delete from capturecard where cardid=xx;

using the same encoder number from above. For multiple cards, run the 
two commands multiple times, substituting the different encoder numbers.

To clean out the settings table run:

delete from settings where hostname = 'xxhostnamexx';

replacing xxhostnamexx with the hostname from mythweb.

As was mentioned, make backups of the database before starting. I am not 
responsible for you screwing up your database!

Tom
