But a better documentation for us linux noobs would certainly be helpful. Any takers?

- You need to 'apt-get install' tvheadend first. As per the download instructions for ubuntu.
http://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository
- You need to enable the tvheadend system service in Systemd.
Which I'm sorry I can't help you with as I use Docker and not systemd. Here's some resources:

You will probably find that the tvheadend apt pkg installes that file ^^ `tvheadend.service` in /etc/systemd somewhere. But that i just a guess on my part.
Honestly I much prefer Docker myself. But that would be a steeper learning curve for someone like you who wouldn't really know anything about it yet.

Needs to write this to terminal: sudo update-rc.d tvheadend defaults and after reboot srvice tvheaden is running.

Any way make this permanent though?
This works fine until tvheadend us updated with apt, then it goes mack to a manual start service.

After update Linux server, or Linux desktop You need to start Tvheadend manualy and reenter sudo update-rc.d tvheadend defaults to terminal . It will be work again.

I did the following to make tvheadend autostart on Ubuntu 15.10:
sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/tvheadend.service
Copied in the content from https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend-packaging/blob/master/systemd/tvheadend.service
sudo systemctl enable tvheadend.service
