Hi Richard
When you say put the videos under /var/lib/mythvideo - how do you mean?

0.28 BE - 172.16.10.54
0.27 BE - 172.168.10.55
0.28 FE - 172.16.10.58

Currently, there is nothing under /var/lib/mythvideo on the new BE.

Videos currently are on the 0.27 BE - without NFS, how do I put files on
the new BE (short of detaching the disks from the old BE and adding them on
the new system)?

Apologize if it's too obvious...
