Oh, yes you can! ssh -X or ssh -Y can do this perfectly well from any other
host. I believe you can use vnc or other methods too. ssh is the way I've
maintained my MBE for years, and it doesn't even have X installed.
The way forward seems to be a separate web interface, which I understand is
planned for a future release. Till then, mythtv-setup over ssh works well enough.
