Sorry, I don't have an answer but am considering the same questions. The
main thing that worries me is that I'll do the right thing and take a full
database backup, only to find that it's incomaptible with whatever new
Ubuntu-based system I build due to different MythTV versions. It would be
great if someone had some advice on avoiding that pitfall as part of this
whole upgrade process.
