<p class=""><font face="DejaVu Serif" class="">I've been using Mythbuntu 14.04 LTS in a master backend and multiple frontends ever since it was released in 2014 and am completely satisfied with it. It just works. Is there any real advantage in upgrading to
a more recent version such as 16.04 LTS?</font></p>

Having done upgrades a lot of different ways, I recommend that you simply backup your database and your recording directories to a NAS or external drive. Then build a new mythbuntu 16.04 with mythtv 0.28. Then restore your database and recordings. My next
upgrade will be to backup my mythbuntu 16.04 LTS with 0.28 mythtv system and then do a fresh install of Xubuntu 16.04.3 and then install mythtv 29. then I’ll restore my database and recordings. </div>

<div>I have tired an upgrade in place from 0.28 to 29 and it failed. So I don’t do upgrades in place.</div>
