Actually, yes.  Search the archives/google for MythStreamTV (not to be
confused with MythStream).  MythStreamTV lets you stream recordings from
your mythbox to a client using http or mms.  When you start streaming you
pick a show and then select audio and video bitrates as well as the size of
the video (so you can adjust it to suit your connection).  It works really
well for me, although I've never tried it from a hotel across the world from
my Myth box.  The only downside to MythStreamTV I've found is that FF/REW
aren't terribly responsive and they only work in 1 minute increments last I
checked.  Of course, that's a small price to pay to be able to watch your
recordings from anywhere in the world.

HTH,
Brad Benson
