Thanks for the replies.  Concluded I needed to move from 12.10, and have had a nightmare ever since. Upgrades of Ubuntu and Myth broke quite a lot beyond the scope of my knowledge. Is there any kind of dummies guide to upgrading? Google didn't really help.

Long story short I now have a new install of Ubuntu 13.10 and Myth 0.27.

But it's a new install.... Is there anyway I can restore the database that I backed up before my 12.10 / 0.25 got trashed?

Would I get anything useful from a restore? I would quite like to get the recording history back if possible.....
