I have the entire DB still on my livingroom PC.
"/before/ running mythtv-setup for the first time "
Well, I've already got my new system setup and working. I guess it's no
biggie to trash it all and start again.
I would prefer to just move over the recordings table and games though.
So, I guess it's look at each column and copy it over! oh no, that
sounds like a nightmare.
Seeing as I want to update my living room machine to 0.21 (as it will
now connect to my garage), can I not 'upgrade' my old DB 'in situe' then
copy it over to my new machine, then finally point my livingroom machine
at the copy in the garage? Phew - this complex - is life too short? Hell
no, I love this stuff!
