Yes.

If so, then we need to investigate why it won't run from startup init

Any pointers on how to diagnose this?  Should I put echo statements in and
direct them to a separate log file or something?

Great, done.  We'll see if that works.

About ivtv control, myth is able to control the devices after these two

It doesn't need to.  I'm using an external tuner so once these two things
are set, it should never have to change them.  So I have no way of knowing
whether it ever gets proper control.

If so, then try adding to /etc/default/mythtv-backend some verbosity

I set the extra args to "-v important,general,channel".  There wasn't
anything for video.
