OK, here's a dumb question.  How dow I check my repositories?  How do I know
if they're the right repositories?  If they're not, how do I disable or
delete and add the correct repositories?


Additionally, I hope my existing MythTV recordings and configuration will be
recognized when I get things up an running.  If I reinstall mythtv database,
will my previous data be wiped out?

Thanks for your help.
