<p>Thanks Mike</p>
<p>Not only for your quick answer to my question, but for all the time you put into this project.</p>
<p>Living in Europe and only having sat-tv I don't know of any more flexible solution than mythtv. I could pull out miles of coax-cable and provide the family with multible tv's without having to fight over a remote or for that fact a tv :-D</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>PS not having a backup is like going to sea without a life vest... plain stupid</p>

Currently I have a .24+fix running Ubuntu 10.10 - which was a big mistake on my part - and want to move to a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Originally I had planned to upgrade my production BE then backup the db and use this for my fresh install. Just for the purpose of testing on my test BE I did the following /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --directory</blockquote>
<pre>This is the appropriate way to move a database to another host or to
restore a database after an OS upgrade.</pre>

<pre>Exactly.</pre>

<pre>MythTV 0.25 will upgrade a 0.24 database schema without problems. So,
as long as all of your systems will be running MythTV 0.25-fixes, all
will work fine.
Just make sure you protect that pre-upgrade database backup well. If
you have any problems, it's your get-out-of-jail-free card.
