OK, thanks everyone, yes, I want MythTV to behave like an appliance.<br><br>The idea of not updating just seems to contary to what I've learned about security in recent years, and even contrary to what Ubuntu say themselves about updates. Plus I assure you, I've read here more than once, and been told directly more than once on this mailing list, that if I have a problem I really need to make sure I'm running the latest release.<br>
<br>But if upgrading the latest release is going to cause me problems, but not running updates means my system is less secure and won't have any existing issues cleared, I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.<br>
<br>Oh well, not anyones fault, just a compromise that I must choose, whilst not actually really understanding my choice. But for me, MythTV needs to work as an appliance, so I guess infrequent, say twice annually updates to coincide with new releases of Ubuntu is what I need to do.<br>
