The <a href="http://mythconverg_restore.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mythconverg_restore.pl</a> program has an option to change the<br>
hostname in the database - use the --help option to see it. So you<br>
can restore a database on a machine with a different hostname, then<br>
use that command to change the hostname in the database to match the<br>
machine's hostname.<br></blockquote><div>So, to make sure I understand this. restoring the RPi's database backup onto the Lenovo, WILL restore and leave me with a mis-match of hostnames: database to machine (Lenovo) which can be corrected / matched by using the command in the <a href="http://mythconverg_restore.pl">mythconverg_restore.pl</a> --help. Then off to the XMLTV wiki? Thanks again! Daryl</div></div></div>
