MythTV Users,

I have a .15 MythTV backend and two .15 XBox MythTV frontends. The systems is used heavily by four individuals on an almost hourly basis and the system has overcome many hurdles to gain the users trust. I am almost about to add a third encoder to try to minimize conflicts. These are personal systems so I do not have alot of money to throw at it. So now on to the questions:

I want to upgrade to take advantage of the new features but all the protocol changes have left me in the dust and make upgrading an all or nothing affair. Can someone suggest a minimum impact upgrade path that will not disrupt my MythTV setup for a whole weekend? Which is not acceptable to the users I must say. I can not build a second whole system to work the kinks out of while this one stays running, although I wish I could.

Also, I want to know what is the reasoning behind not keeping the protocol between frontend and backend backwards compatible? It seems good practice to not break older versions of MythTV frontends or slaves in an effort to minimize problems for the user and for other MythTV integrated projects out there.
