I haven't had to use this in a while, but it is useful to have around:


#!/bin/bash
#  reset-channel:  takes 2 inputs
   Tuner=$1;
   Channel=$2;

#   example
#  Tuner='5'
#  Channel='43.1';
#
rm -f tempfile
echo "update cardinput set startchan = $Channel where cardid = $Tuner;" 
 > tempfile
echo "exit" >> tempfile
mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg < tempfile

rm -f tempfile
exit
