<p>I just ran 'do-release-upgrade' from the command line to upgrade my mythbuntu to 12.04</p>
<p>Then set the mythbuntu repos for 0.25 and do</p>
<p>Sudo apt-update<br>
Sudo apt-upgrade</p>
<p>Et voila, all recordings etc still in place, you'd just need to do a channel scan I guess.</p>

Hi all,<br>
I recently moved, and I've finally got all my cat5 cables run where<br>
they need to go... Now I'm thinking about how to revive my mythtv<br>
setup.<br>
<br>
My situation is this: old installation was in a small apartment, so it<br>
was a single combined FE/BE. I also hadn't upgraded it in a while -<br>
It is currently running an older (now unsupported) version of<br>
Mythbuntu and mythtv v0.24, and also the 2TB video storage drive is<br>
100% full. In the new installation, I'd like to get back onto a<br>
supported distribution. I'm also doing some HW upgrades, got some<br>
additional disks, etc etc. I'm going back to a separate FE / BE setup<br>
(which was my setup before my last apartment) and the prior combined<br>
FE/BE box will go back to being an FE only. Of course it's a<br>
different TV service provider too.<br>
<br>
So basically, almost everything about my setup is changing -- OS<br>
versions, system roles, IP addresses, hostnames -- all of which can<br>
cause headaches when done individually. I'm inclined to do a new,<br>
fresh install of the latest Mythbuntu and set everything up from a<br>
clean slate.<br>
<br>
HOWEVER, the big caveat is that I'd like to keep all the recorded<br>
shows. Is there any way to import the old recorded shows into a new<br>
install? Or do I have to first upgrade to 0.25 then purge out and<br>
re-do my config (tuners, video sources, etc)? This isn't the easiest<br>
thing to do because I don't think 0.25 is pre- packaged for my old OS<br>
version, and AFAIK ubuntu version upgrades have to be done one at a<br>
time, so that's a big undertaking that I'd rather not do.<br>
<br>
Any other thoughts/suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
