Need upgrading advice

Howdy folks

Have been away for 5 months and while i'm glad to see all the new stuff, i really can't read thru everything.

I've decided to upgrade to 2.1 and a try new STV. I like the look of Meekell - is it stable yet ?

How do i install 2.1 so i can clean up all the unnecessary stuff (old STVs and folders, obselete properties) but keep my database and preferences intact ?

That one's easy, just copy your sage.properties files and wiz.* files to a safe location. Uninstall sage. Nuke the Frey dir. Install the new version, and copy your saved files back.

You might want to keep some customizations such as the ChannelLogos directory too, and if you are using an external tuner with a USB-UIRT or such, then look into saving your .ir file(s) in the Common\RemoteCodes\<ir device> directory if you've customized the .ir file.

Good to know it's so simple.
I wasn't sure if it would be safe to overwrite the new files with the old ones.
