You can also do a MythTV database "spring cleaning" (i.e. a "new
hardware"/partial restore of the DB). With that approach, though, you
end up reconfiguring all your existing machines (which happens to allow
you time to go through and see/set all the new settings that have
appeared since you originally configured).
