[mythtv-users] What will be the function fo MythTV

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

MythTV is completely new to me.  Just came across this
site;
http://www.mythtv.org/

On reading the document;
1.1 What is MythTV
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-1.html#ss1.1

if I understand it correctly, it seems to me that
MythTV can navigate the backend of a TV server.  To my
curiosity how can it go through the firewall?  If it
does then disturbence can be done by some bad guys. 
If I'm wrong please correct me.

TIA

B.R.
