Is mythbackend starting up before networking is fully up?  That is the
usual cause for this problem, as mythbackend will not use any tuner
that does not work when it tests it at startup.  If restarting
mythbackend fixes it, that is a good indicator that you need to adjust
mythbackend's systemd unit to make it start later.  The default setup
only waits for localhost to be up (so mysql works), not the external
interfaces needed for network tuners.  Search the archives of this
mailing list for full details on how to make the necessary changes.
