The recordings list is in the database. Unless you decide to drop
your mysql database and recreate it your old recordings should be
fine.
Starting to build your own binaries can be thought of just like
any other MythTV upgrade. It's not necessarily disruptive. If
you're really paranoid, you can even dump your mysql database and
backup all of your old binaries.
I do both of those things btw.
