There's also been a short thread on the MythTV mailing list about how to get the MythTV Frontend to only start after there's a working network. It started with a user reporting that after upgrading his MythBuntu install the Frontend would sometimes start properly and sometimes start into the setup screen (which is what it does if it can't find the backend) - with no apparent pattern as to when it does or doesn't work.
Of course, the upgrade put SystemD on the machine.

The fun part ? For some reason that must have made sense to someone, networking is only started when the user logs into the desktop. WTF ? So the suggested fix is to disable the network manager and manually configure the network via /etc/network/interfaces.
