Each configured channel (in the `channel` table) has a sourceid field
that maps to one of the video sources defined in the `videosource`
table.

You likely want to create a new video source and new channels whilst
configuring your new TV service, and then associate the new video
source with an existing card input when you are ready to test.

MythTV may warn that you have an unconnected videosource(s) - once you
have got everything working the way you want it, delete the old video
source and associated channels to keep your config clean.

Using the channel editor in MFE/mythweb is the preferred option to do
this, but sometimes the direct approach (or using the in-development
services API) makes everything so much simpler and quicker.

Cheers,
Nick
