for future reference, with only a few rows, using "\G" for the query 
gives much-more-e-mail-compatible output:

SELECT * FROM channel WHERE channum = 999\G

You need to specify a freqid.

UPDATE channel SET freqid = 999 WHERE chanid = 2999;

and make sure you specify an external channel change script of /bin/true 
for the videosource.
