[mythtv-users] Problem with Ubuntu upgrade

Has this list gone quiet recently?
Or are people away on holiday?
Or have I been put on people's 'ignore' list because I've asked a couple 
of 'Off Topic' questions in the past?

I know you shouldn't 'expect' people to help you in a newsgroup, but my 
experience in the past has been as soon as I ask something in here I get 
3 or 4 people eagerly suggesting what to try next, and my wife is 
watching her favourite programs again in a day or two.

I've been trying to get to the bottom of this both in here and in the 
Ubuntu Forums and although my problem has become a bit clearer to me (I 
think .. unless I'm wrong), over the last few days, I don't seem any 
closer to a solution.

Maybe I need to pull the plug and install from scratch? That'd probably 
be the quickest thing to do, but I'd lose some important stuff like a 
recording of my family when they were on TV at a festival and a 3 whole 
series of TV programs that I was one of the animators on.
