You mean disable the broken tuner instead of all the channels that 
depend on it?  Wow, what a novel idea!  (Duh)

The SQL that worked perfectly:  update capturecard set sourceid=0 where 
cardid=6;

Turns out I'd done this once before and forgotten how.  The old 
capturecard is still in the table with sourceid=0.  Now there are two...
