[mythtv-users] Rebuilding a borked database

[William Uther]

Hi,
   I think my mythtv database has become corrupted.  I'd like to rebuild 
it from scratch.  I have a backup that is about a week old, but I think 
things have changed enough in that week that it doesn't solve my 
problem.

   Rescanning for channels isn't too hard.  Adding back all the 
scheduled recordings isn't too hard (although it may be a little time 
consuming).  The program guide can just be re-loaded from the net.  The 
real issue is how to re-add the currently recorded programs when I 
re-build the database.

   I looked on the web for rebuilding mythtv databases and I couldn't 
find anything.  Does anyone have a HOWTO or other set of instructions 
on how to fix up this db?  I want to have a fair idea of what I'm doing 
before I start playing with this too much :).

Thanks,

Will          :-}
