And for what it's worth, the ONLY table which I have seriously fiddled 
with IS the settings table. I checked at one point and found that I had 
three different hostnames, and a fair number of duplicate settings *for 
the same hostname*.

No damage ensued. The only other table I touch is the recorded table, 
when inserting downloaded videos to poke in the filesize. But that is 
done by a script.
