<div dir="ltr">If you copy over the database and the recordings, it should bring the mythtv-setup configuration with it. The first question is do you want to upgrade, or would you prefer to stay with 24? There are valid reasons for both answers.<div>

<div>I used these files on my raring (13.04) system.

They get upgrades only when necessary for security breaches or features I'm desperate for. I have about 8 front ends that would need to be upgraded in relative sync with the backend, so it's an undertaking to upgrade them all. -- D</div>
