Further to this, setting a PIN didn't make a difference. Eventually I
deleted (well, renamed just in case) the folder
~/.mythtv/HardwareProfile and that has got rid of the delay so I assume
it isn't submitting the hardware profile every startup. I'll keep an eye
on it.
Does anyone want to see the previous contents of the HardwareProfile
folder in case that helps them troubleshoot what the problem was?
Cheers,
John
