If you are interested in an iPhone / iPod Touch MythTV remote that  
will keep track of backends and frontends, try out MyMote. It also  
automatically finds your backends and frontends through UPnP. You can  
get more information at http://trac2.assembla.com/mymote/wiki.

P.S.: In the interest of full disclosure, I am the developer for MyMote.

Thanks
