Hi mate, i am no guru, but what i would do is

on your current box, simply go into myweb and delete all the recorded programs.
backup the old database
copy it to the new machine
Import it onto the new machine
add tuners, scan for channels, add guide date etc

that way you get the desired result without having to be a mysql
expert.  I've done that before and it works fine.

The CLI is everywhere. It's all around us, even in this very room. You
can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your
television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to work,
when you pay your taxes. The GUI is the world that has been pulled
over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
