logrotate's conf did not do that. Who does the config file for
mythbackend for logrotate?

I now made it to be:

# cat mythbackend
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log {
    notifempty
    missingok
    compress
    compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2
    uncompresscmd /usr/bin/bunzip2
    compressext .bz2
    weekly
    rotate 4
    size 10M
 postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mythbackend.pid 2> /dev/null` 2>
/dev/null || true
 endscript
}
