Anyone mind if I re-ask the original question?

My server and Myth backend is playing up a bit. It's working fine as a 
mythbackend, but I'm having a few other troubles that I'm not geek 
enough to sort out. I'm sure some of you guys could, but it would be 
completely off topic and time consuming.

My server only needs to be set up as a Mythbackend, file server and 
music sever (logitech media server). So, it will be much quicker for me 
to just wipe the OS drive and start again with it.

Is it better to install the latest Xbuntu (I use the desktop version 
because I use it via vnc), and then put Myhtbuntu on top of that.
Or
Should I install the latest Mythbuntu ISO, and then update the OS to get 
the latest version?

I want the latest version because I'm hoping that the USB HD tuner I 
bought will suddenly start working with some update or other. At the 
moment, it's just an expensive dust excluder for the use port. My SD 
tuners still work fine.

Cheers,
Damian
