4 Gibytes is sufficient again now. There was a longstanding MythTV
bug that was causing excessive RAM use and causing swapper use that
has recently been fixed. 2 Gibytes is too little for plain 16.04 to
feel comfortable in, let alone when using MythTV on top of that. You
may need to be using v29+fixes to get the necessary bug fix. I
believe the bug is in 0.28, but I do not know if it has been fixed in
0.28+fixes.

The lircd hack above is probably necessary because lirc needs to be
able to use a networked remote from the HDHR device. In 16.04, lirc
is started from /etc/init.d/lirc, so you can alter that to have it
started after the networking is up. But that is not a simple job, so
the above hack may be a good way of doing it.
