My fix for this was as follows;

1. Move the init for mythbackend from 20 to 50.
2. Change the network configuration.

Details;
1. Move the init for mythbackend from 20 to 50.

Type:
sudo update-rc.d -f mythtv-backend remove

Echo:
Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K20mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc1.d/K20mythtv-backend

   /etc/rc4.d/S20mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc5.d/S20mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc6.d/K20mythtv-backend

Type:
sudo update-rc.d mythtv-backend defaults 50

Echo:

   /etc/rc0.d/K50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc1.d/K50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend

   /etc/rc2.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc3.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc4.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend
   /etc/rc5.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend

2. Change the network configuration.
On the desktop select;
Applications > System > Network

Type your sudo password if prompted.

Select your wired connection on the "Connections" tab.

Select "Properties"

Uncheck "Enable Roaming Profile"

Change the configuration to DHCP or Static.

Note: If you do use DHCP I highly recommend a static DHCP assignment in your router or you may have problems in the future.

Reboot.....

And for me the problem is fixed.
