Probably won't catch everything. The mythtv package is a meta-package
that pulls in dependencies but will not cause everything to be
uninstalled. A more reliable method may be someting like:

$ yum list installed | grep atrpms

and then make sure you get them all. You generally don't want to mix
packages unless you really know what you're doing.

It's *ALWAYS* recommended to do a backup[1] just in case. Since the
RPM Fusion package is newer it should just upgrade it to the new
schema. Make sure to run "mythtv-setup" to get the backend schema
updated even if you don't change anything then run mythfrontend to
update the frontend schema.

That should get it IIRC.
