Migrate MythTV Recordings to a New Server

Want to install MythTV onto a new system, or install things from scratch on the same system? The big problem is loosing all your recordings and data.

It not as simple as just copying your recording files over. You need to have the database information about each file for them to work.

It's fairly easy to transfer your important database information to a new server. Here's how.

Turn Off The Monitor From Your Remote

One of the big disadvantages of using a standard PC monitor as your screen for MythTV is that when you're done watching it, you have to get up to go physically press the power button to turn it off.

Well, no more. Ian Forde has come up with a great solution to the problem. Here is a script and lirc configuration that will let you map a button on your remote to power off your monitor from using the remote control. Many people would map this to the power button on the remote.
