Yes, routers can take a long time to boot.  Switches are usually up
very rapidly, so after a power cut things on the local network will
normally be accessible well before the Internet via the router (or
traffic to other subnets on the router).  The systemd units I posted
will time out after 30 tries at 1 second between tries, and then
mythbackend will start regardless of the HDHomeruns being available.

As far as I know, mythbackend still does not ever look at tuner
availability except at startup.
