[mythtv-users] Suspend to RAM almost working, but not quite

I think I've found a working solution to the problem: the backend issues

echo sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend | at now+1minute

as a shutdown command, and then the hooks in /etc/pm/sleep.d take care
of stopping mythtv-backend and unloading the driver. This seems to
work well so far.
