Q: How do I import recordings from other sources into Myth?
In the contrib folder of the MythTV sources, there is a script named myth.rebuilddatabase.pl which takes an "--ext" command-line option followed by a file extension. This will prompt the script to search for those files that match the extension and prompt you for information about them to import them into the database along-side your existing recordings.

Yes! Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.conf
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main
