[mythtv-users] Upgrade Backend and mythtv

[Phill Edwards]

What I did was install mythtv, then dropped the mythconverg database and
restored it from the backup with the backup and restore script.

Then run mythtv-setup which asks you if you want to upgrade the database to
the new version. This worked really well.
