You could always start on 19.10, and upgrade to 20.04 once it's out, and<br>
then IIRC, it'll default back to sticking to LTS releases (if not it's a<br>
simple change)<br>

If the ppa had been ready for 20.04 I would have probably gone with that to save the upgrade in the future. I only have hdhomeruns and I'm only installing the backend so it's fairly simple. So far it appears to be more stable than 14.04 which since I'm running kvm was probably a kernel issue but was to lazy to chase it down and figured upgrading was the easiest path forward. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I'm a long long time user, really thankful you guys have kept it going.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks again.</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
