What I noticed is after pulling the plug the active time was incorrect. It seems to be pulling the wrong active time from somewhere. Also, the dvr information is from the day before.
The active time is correct after rebooting.
When tvh starts the time set is not correct. It is the original problem as it were before.
If time-sync doesn’t help you could delay starting tvh a little. Try adding this line under Service in file service.tvheadend42.service
ExecStartPre=-/bin/sh -c "sleep 10"
I did the above and I still get a server does not respond properly message after pulling the plug. Below is the status:

Ignore the time on Active line because now with using sleep command doesn’t matter. You could try to increase the time.
I tried increasing the time to 100 and it seems that Tvheadend isn’t starting:

One thing I’ve noticed is it takes several minutes to get to the CoreELEC boot screen (this isn’t new) when I pull the plug. It is a lot quicker if I just do a reboot. Also, I have a USB drive connected to the box if that matters.
Seems some strange device 
I changed the sleep to 20 and it seems to be happy with that for now. I guess 100 was too much for some reason.
I have a feeling this is going to be an ongoing battle…
