[mythtv-users] OT: Is there a way to outsource system admin tasks remotely?

  Hello all,

I find I have less and less time for tweaking all of the things I'd like 
to tweak on my home computer systems. Getting my remote control handset 
working just the way that I want it, setting up this, fiddling with 
that, just never gets to the top of a long list of things that need 
doing. I'm finally at the point where I'd rather just pay someone a few 
$ to do a few of these things for me than them never get done.

Do any of you know of any online services where you can get someone to 
log in to set up X and tweak Y and X?

Do any of you fancy doing this yourselves?

If I go down this route, how should I make sure the service is safe 
security wise? I was thinking of using something like TeamViewer unless 
there's a good reason not to.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Damian
