Most important advice:  going to unstable/development is basically a 
one-way process.  You can't downgrade a database to -fixes/stable, after 
using it with any unstable/development apps.  Therefore, you can only 
downgrade after restoring a pre-upgrade database backup:  
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore (which means you 
lose any changes that occurred when running the unstable/development 
code).  If you really want to try, just enable 0.25pre--and sign up for 
(and catch up and keep up with) 
http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-commits and 
http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev .
