If you press the control key while i the device list, you should get an option to delete a tuner. (trash can icon, I think)

Interestingly, this won't work in Mac OSX.  CNTRL-Click is a system wide trigger to bring up a context menu that cannot, from what I can tell, be disabled either per application or system wide.  So while pressing control does display the DELETE and DISABLE links, if you click on them you get a context menu instead.  I wonder if there's a way to have NextPVR either use a different key (like maybe SHIFT) or at least have a setting to use a different key if needed.

From a support perspective it should be unhidden, once sub figures out how to add prompts for deleting things like recordings, tuners channels etc. I am very scared to do any deleting in the web browser on my production server.

I don't usually do NextPVR stuff with my mac, but I just had a quick check now. While it is a little awkward, you can still do the on the mac - just click on the page when the context menu comes up.

It was a specific decision to have hidden by default. Firstly it was to avoid the user accidentally deleting devices. It was also hidden for aesthetic purposes - I didn't want to clutter up the page with other random controls.

I can see both sides here. Maybe a compromise would be to have something on the screen somewhere that said "To see additional device options, press Control".

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about doing.
