No cause for concern. The thousands place represents the
Video source. I have analog cable and also digital cable
boxes. These have different listing so they are setup as
different video sources. Even if you don't use two different
sources, you may have started over at some point which created
a second entry in the table numbered "2". The docs simplify
a bit by assuming that most people only have one source.
