You can deal with the no password part by using ssh keys. The arch wiki article that comes up as my first google hit looks helpful.

I presume no login means /bin/false as a shell, you can probably get around that by specifying mythtv-setup with the ssh command. e.g.

    ssh -Y mythtv at backendserver mythtv-setup
