FWIW, I also don't believe so. I don't remember file names getting changed at
conversion time. The DB changes are listed here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UTC.
Note that the basename column was *not* changed. Unfortunately, I don't have
any recordings old enough to really prove it.

mysql> select title,starttime,basename from recorded order by starttime;
+-----------------------+---------------------+-------------------------+
| title                 | starttime           | basename                |
+-----------------------+---------------------+-------------------------+
| XXX Summer Olympics   | 2012-07-27 23:30:00 | 1051_20120727233000.mpg |
...

So, the starttime (which was converted to UTC) is independent of the
basename.

I have read about folks on the list who converted to 0.26 and reverted to
0.25, but never read comments about losing old recordings.
