Yes. Google should be kicked off the Internet for allowing that
ancient, outdated, incorrect, can-corrupt-the-db-data (as it can
completely break your character encoding) post to be #1.

Best solution is to do a proper restore of your complete pre-upgrade
database and let MythTV Do The Right Thing.
If you decide you want to waste hours re-configuring everything for no
benefit, at least do a proper partial restore:

(and take note of

).
