I have made a little more progress on this. The mythtv-backend daemon is
started using "upstart" in 10.04 and using rc.local means that the "fix"
is applied afterhe backend process has already started (and therefore
does not work). A partial solution is to add the modprobe workaround to
the mythtv-backend upstart job configuration file: /etc/init/mythtv-
backend.conf.

This works 100% for me when manually starting the mythtv-backend - using
"sudo stop mythtv-backend" followed by "sudo start mythtv-backend".

Unfortunately I can't get this to work automatically on a re-boot of the
machine. I suspect either a subtle timing issue during the boot process
or a problem with Upstart or the mythtv-upstart job. Unfortunately
Upstart seems very opaque to me and I am unable to debug this issue
further despite several hours of research.

I am also wondering if the original bug is also caused by a boot
sequence/timing/upstart issue?

I have attached the modified Upstart job configuration file in case this
works for anyone else.
