Hi all.

Is there a simple way to change card ids?

In particular I need to swap the ids of my two cards from:

LITE-ON DVB-T USB -> id=1
FireDTV T/CI -> id=3

to

LITE-ON DVB-T USB -> id=3
FireDTV T/CI -> id=1

I want just know if there is a safe and simple way to do this before uninstall/reinstall my TV cards.

Thanks in advance

I know this is very late however i want to document this for others, it would have saved me a day or so of troubleshooting,
i ran into the same issue after moving from Windows xp to Windows 7 and jhad to reinstall/upgrade MediaPortal and then restore the DB however my IdCard numbers changed from was in the restored Database and it caused all kinds of IR blasting issues and Channel issue.
This is how i fix it.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

This is from memory as when i did this i was doing it blindly and not thinking about documenting it.

-Stop TV Service
-Open Sql Express in Configuration management studio
-Goto the Database called MpTvDb
-Follow Screen Prints
-After all Complete restart TV Service
