I've been playing with this a little, and found a different workaround: 1. rename /etc/rc5.d/S86mythbackend to S96mythbackend 2. edit /etc/init.d/mythbackend and change the following line:
from # chkconfig: - 86 14 to # chkconfig: - 96 04 This will delay the startup of the backend so that the channels will change correctly. I tried it and rebooted half a dozen times, worked every time.
