[mythtv-users] Headless Myth box?

[Dan Conti]

Yeah, i've done this with X forwarding. I set up cygwin/xfree on my
windows machine, ssh'd into my linux box, and started up myth. If your
DISPLAY stuff is set up right it should remotely display the myth stuff.
If you try to run visualizations or play video you'll have a rough time,
but for just the control stuff it should be fast enough over LAN. Same
with xmms.
