<p>So I have a healthy mythtv backend working on mythbuntu 16.04
with 0.28 with all the latest 0.28 updates. My tuners are
Hauppauge HVR-2250 and HD HomeRun Connect; all ATCS OTA
recording.<br>
</p>
<p>Since I have cut the cord from satellite TV I depend on mythtv
more than ever. So I need upgrading to 0.29 to not cause any
issues. So it brings up a few questions:</p>
<p>1. Should I upgrade to 0.29; what benefit would I get other
than I'm assuming future work will be done on 0.29 and not 0.28?</p>
<p>2. I don't record much during the day so I would have 8 hours
during most days that the backend would be idle. I'll assume
that's enough time, easily.</p>
<p>3. Is the process:</p>
<p> do an additional database backup and save it to a USB
memory stick.<br>
</p>
<p> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29<br>
</p>
<p> sudo apt update</p>
<p> sudo apt upgrade<br>
</p>

For 2:<br>
The upgrade does not normally take very long, a few minutes in my
experience. some of the time could be taken in downloading the new
version depending on speed of your internet connection.<br>
<br>
For 3:<br>
You need to do sudo apt dist-upgrade, instead of sudo apt upgrade
when upgrading to the next mythtv version, I also suggest a reboot
after the new version has been installed.<br>
If you have any other frontends they will need to be upgraded as
well (protocol versions are different between 0.28 and 29, a 0.28
frontend will not work with a 29 backend).<br>
