<div>There's always a tradeoff. :) Your Myth boxes shouldn't be
exposed directly to the internet, so security is less of a concern. It
still matters, but keep an eye on what they are updating and why they
are doing it. If the fix is for SSL, but you aren't exposing SSL to the
internet, the fix is less of a concern for you. Not that there aren't
internal threats as well, but they are less likely. Personally, I
expose only SSH and OpenVPN to the internet, so those are the packages
I watch closely for OS level updates. Myth I just update when I feel
the need to update everything else or there is a problem I suspect
might be corrected in -fixes. </div>

<div>It would be nice if there were a more stability based update
branch available, only critical fixes or something like that. Even
then, you might still run into problems. I'm using Ubuntu as well,
still 9.10, but I'll likely be updating to the LTS release here soon.
Then likely stay there for a while unless I see a reason to update. LTS
is nice as Ubuntu guarantees security fixes for the long term. With
media related stuff you can't always stay there as long as you might
like though, just because you need newer libs or similar. </div>

With mythbuntu it's always a good idea to check versions of packages
and if all package line-up, so all the components you've got installed
are updated at once. I've noticed more than once tthat the
mythbuntu-ppa updates packages and puts them in the repo before all
packages are built.<br>
I use synaptic once a week to manually update mythtv-packages and check
if versions are the same, if not all are there I wait.<br>
<br>
As for the not found recording erro I wouldn't know for sure what it
is...<br>
