My system was setup from scratch on 0.24, nothing kept from old system at
all.  Personally, I have had zero problems and have found 0.24 much better
than 0.22 or 0.23.  The only hassle I had was matching up xmltv numbers with
channels for listing data grabbing, as there is no easy way of doing that,
so it was a manual task.  So all good here!

Cheers
