These mythtv packages look interesting.  I've been anxious to try out
the VDPAU stuff, but I'd also like to try some of the other stuff,
like the HDHR multirec.  Before I give it a go I've got a couple of
questions.  Will these packages "upgrade" an existing ATrpms Mythtv
install?  If yes, what is the best way to upgrade with yum (my updater
of choice)?  Will 'yum --enablerepo=atrpms-testing update mythtv'
work?  If, for some reason, the packages don't work for me will I be
able to "downgrade" to the existing ATrpms mythtv packages without too
much trouble?

Thanks,
John
