Yep, if you set up your storage groups properly (i.e. the best way is to 
set up both directories in your Default storage group--which is the 
group I'm assuming most (if not all) of your recordings are in).  See, 
also, http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/334095#334095 
(best bet, though, is to not change the hostname).
