I can't help you with the configuration to get the mythtv frontend working.
I have tried various solutions, but never got it working. What I use
instead is my plex media server, that allows me to connect to all of my
videos on the go. There is a plugin for plex that creates a mythtv channel
and all of your recordings will be visible there. You cannot watch live tv
that way, but it does do transcoding on the fly, so you can get the best
resolution for your connection. Works really well.

Andréas
