Description
I'm starting tvheadend release 3.4 like this:
tvheadend -f -u hts -g video -c /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend -l /var/log/tvheadend.log
Yet nothing happens in the /var/log/tvheadend.log file.
When I remove -f it does work, however.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say you're running that as root. Without -f it does not change the permissions and so tvh runs as root and can write to the file. With -f it switches to another user to reduce priv's and can no longer write to that file.
Try changing the ownership of that file to hts:video and see if it works.
