I had this problem on both Fedora Core and Ubuntu. My solution on Fedora was a dirty hack, but it works :)
I found this mailing list post about rc.local and debian: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/06/msg00215.html add the commands below at the very bottom of the file you create from the above mailing list post : /etc/init.d/mythbackend start sleep 3 /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop /etc/init.d/mythbackend start For what it's worth, I am running ivtv-0.3.2t. I was having major problems with the 0.3.3 branch (don't know why, probably was something I was doing).
