I forgot to mentoin that I went back to broadcast first, since broadcast was 
working fine with S3 sleep with myth 0.24, and it does not work anymore
without me restarting mythbackend

Before sleep:
Node 0 GUID 0x001e8c0001700d3a
------------------------------

Node 1 GUID 0x001e46fffe6c0d04
------------------------------
oMPR n_plugs=1, data_rate=2, bcast_channel=63
oPCR[0] online=1, bcast_connection=0, n_p2p_connections=0
        channel=63, data_rate=1, overhead_id=0, payload=376
iMPR n_plugs=0, data_rate=2

After sleep:
Node 0 GUID 0x001e8c0001700d3a
------------------------------

Node 1 GUID 0x001e46fffe6c0d04
------------------------------
oMPR n_plugs=1, data_rate=2, bcast_channel=63
oPCR[0] online=1, bcast_connection=0, n_p2p_connections=0
        channel=63, data_rate=1, overhead_id=0, payload=376
iMPR n_plugs=0, data_rate=2

That's great for a backend, but not for my backend/frontend.

I see you wrote your own too :)
Sure, maybe you have something I don't have (please look at the scripts I sent 
you in the URLs of my last Email).

Thanks,
