[mythtv-users] Configuring Mythtv remotely

[Brad DerManouelian]

You can run X remotely.

Make sure your box you're SSHing from has an X Server (cygwin on  
Windows, X11 on OS X or Linux has it built in).
In your X terminal, type xhost + to allow remote X connections.

ssh user at mythbox
export DISPLAY=remotebox:0.0

Now when you launch an application that uses the display from your  
ssh session, it will run the display on your remote machine.
