I recently rebuilt my mythbuntu 11.10 (mythtv 0.24) backend. I have

Did you backup all of your database from the old system by exporting all
tables and then inport the old tables into the new one?
[If you can, I strongly suggest you do so. Such scripts are within the
mythtv's but I cannot remember exactly where but if you do a search on
database backups on the mythtv forums you will find them as well as
instructions in their usage].
If not, then you will not get access to the recordings and more importantly,
have all of your recording rules, what programmes you have previously recorded
and watched etc, so will have to start again recording previous programmes .
It appears that a re-install of mythbuntu using the option to keep old
settings doesn't include the database. :(
Thanks to both Vince and Brian. I had just begun using the former
backend, so there wasn't anything there that I can't live w/out. I will
be keeping track of database backups most carefully in the future. :)
