Yes! Thanks for that Richard. I presume I was using contradictory 
settings when I last played around with it. Likely the existence of 
--daemon with or without the pidfile.

Your settings: Simple, use Environment, no daemon and no pidfile works 
fine. AND it starts faster than the forking method. This is still with a 
pre-start.sh and with everything pointing to /var/log/mythtv.

(And the 'test setup' on the desktop at work *proves its utility yet 
again*!!!)
