thats exactly what im saying - yes :)
as a few other comments in this thread, i tend to hold off the major
releases (0.24 > .25 > .26) for a few weeks with the show stoppers are
fixed.

on the mythtv bug trac there was a fix for the 'channel change in
guide' issue that you reported. i dont seem to be able to find the
exact bug report, but a mythtv update should fix it aswell as a number
of other livetv/recording related issues that the CD release has.

Also, by activating the mythtv repo's in the control-center, it won't
automatically apply updates; you are still required to 'sudo apt-get
upgrade' or run the distros' GUI updater to get mythtv updates
applied.
