[mythtv-users] invalid card id?

[Buchanan, Paul]

Well, you have the answer you are looking for in your message in fact.
"update channel set sourcid = 1; "  is actually a SQL UPDATE command to do
what you are looking to do.  Run that on your database, and you should be
good to go.

I found someone else who had this problem on the mailing list archives.
It tells me what to do but I do not know how to implement it. Any ideas?
He got his problem fixed with this advice:

You somehow managed to set all the 'sourceid' fields in the channel
table to 
0, when they should be 1. 

update channel set sourcid = 1; 

should fix it.

Can someone please explain to me how to update the sourceid?
Thanks,
