Hey guys,<br>
<br>
I'm currently acquiring stuff to move my MythTV to a new hardware platform.<br>
I plan on completely installing Myth from scratch to the new system.<br>
<br>
While I'm currently using a LinHES distro (and it's worked quite nicely),<br>
I'd like to use CentOS as the base server platform (suggestions welcome).<br>
<br>
The real question is: how easy will it be to transfer all the myth-specific stuff (db & recordings) to the new system? I looked in the Wiki - but not sure what the best search term is. I tried "transfer" and didn't see much useful yet.<br>
<br>
So I thought I'd ask here before I just in with both feet.<br>
<br>
Cheers and thanks,<br>
<br>
