SUCCESS!
For those following along at home I followed the directions found here:
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html for moving your data to
a new server. If I had been staying with the same version of the DB I
believe I could have gotten away with just dropping the old db and
restoring the old one, but given the schema changes this way made sense.
I had to restart the backend to have it reflect my upcoming recordings
but all appears well now.
Last thing to figure out is how to get the tv-out of the PVR-350. I
wouldn't be surprised to see a message about that coming up next. :) I
vaguely remember some ivtvfb stuff in the xorg.conf that had to be
changed and fb drivers I had to update only to find out .20 didn't
support it on the new format.
thanks for the quick response to my overly concerned email!
