[mythtv-users] Control from a different machine

OK, maybe I'm missing the obvious, but here's what I want to do... any
suggestions how?
I have a backend server machine with capture card and TV out... works
fine. I can (kind of) get the IR remote working, but its a pain due to
physical limitations (short cable, etc.).
I have a little "net appliance" machine I picked up a year or so ago (LCD
screen, wireless keyboard/mouse, diskless). I have it running a linux
flavor that can get on the net.
What I want is to have the extended program guide (just the normal one...
no TV out required) showing on that screen at any time I want to control
the mythtv... have that keyboard/mouse send its signals to the mythtv box
and change channels, etc. Then I can have a little display right on the
"coffee table" with the showtimes, etc., and can switch around as desired.
Any suggestions? I can't think of a way to have the program guide stuff be
up and still control the other backend, but maybe I'm just confused.
Thanks!
Bruce
