No problems encountered with a new clean database .

However I wanted to check that an upgrade of an existing database was ok.

On attempting to import my production datbase MythTV Schema Version 
(DBSchemaVer): 1376.

I had issues which I could only rectify in mythtv-setup. This is to be 
expected as the two machines have a different tuner configuration.

The problem was that the backend either wouldn't start due to

(UpgradeTVDatabaseSchema) Not allowed to upgrade the database.

Ran mythtv-setup, which did the schema upgrade fine.

The backend then crashed on startup due to the incompatible tuner 
configuration.

Deleted all tuners in mythtv-setup then reconfigured using the web 
interface without problems.

So a means of forcing the backend to start in configuration mode is needed.
