A suggestion on my forum thread has fixed the problem:

In mythtv-backend.conf ,change IFACE!=lo to IFACE=lo

i.e.

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo and started  
udev-finish)
stop on runlevel [016]

I changed this in my original mythtv-backend.conf the new  
mythtv-backend.conf
in the Upstart wiki were not required.

Cheers
