[mythtvnz] Replacing hard disk in mythbuntu

[Phil Heath]

Thanks, that worked well.  Interesting how it's either 'ice on glass' or 
'back to the ol' command prompt'.

Next problem is, when I look at all the recordings I've got, all the old 
recordings are still there,  but when I choose one it tells me the file 
can't be found.  There must be  a command I can use to resync the database 
or clear all recordings or whatever.  Can you tell me what it is?


thanks


Phil
