Did you set up a database WOL?
Did you set up a frontend standby time interval? (Frontend 
Setup->General->Shutdown/Reboot Settings)
Make sure the frontend standby interval is less than or equal to the 
machine standby interval, so that when the machine sleeps, the frontend 
is sleeping first.
When the frontend machine is turned on again, it should still be showing 
the standby screen. It you then press any key it should try to wakeup 
the backend.
There can be a delay before the backend wakes, because there is a 
timeout on the database of 30 seconds before it realizes that the 
database is down. Sometimes the timeout can be long because it is trying 
more than once to contact the database before it realizes it is down.

This works on MythTV V29, I believe that it does not work on 0.28. What 
version are you using?

You can set up a script that shuts down the backend if the backend 
machine sleeps, which avoids the problem of possible delays.
