That is how it's written (can't speak for the intent.) UpdateVideoSource
calls: https://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/tree/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/sourceutil.cpp#n402
and you can see that the SQL touches every field. If any are blank, then
that's what gets added (or default values.)

It looks like this (and some other endpoints) expect the user to get the
old data 1st. In this case calling GetVideoSource.
