Only to change whatever configuration information needs changing for the 
new host.

Also, unless you want to dramatically increase the complexity and the 
work involved, try to make sure that the new host has the same hostname 
as the old.  Ideally, it should also have the same IP address.

If it doesn't have the same IP address, you /must/ run mythtv-setup to 
change the backend (and, likely, master backend) IP address.

If it doesn't have the same hostname, you have to do a lot more /before/ 
your start up any mythtv program (including mythbackend, mythtv-setup, 
mythfrontend, ...) on the new host.
