Updated the backend from the mythbuntu repos as described. Unfortunately, the issue still persists:

Steps to reproduce: 1) Reboot system 2) Check with 'ps' and the syslog I changed the interface from lo to eth0 in the pre-conditions and also changed .5 to 60 in the script sections but to no avail...
