Thanks for the reminder about that section of the docs. I did use that
method some months back when I switched from FC6 to KnoppMyth. One
thing I didn't restore last time, and is missing now, is my Custom
Record searches (Power Search). Where are those stored?

Current status: Recorded programs and recording schedule up and
running. Displaying front end menus on monitor, video playback on the
TV. It's a start.
