The easiest way is if you can get the URL for the m3u8 file. The bitrate is embedded in the file name. For example with this stream I requested 1360Kbps:

    7171_20120827080000.mpg.720x416_1360kV_64kA.m3u8

With myth's internal webserver you can go to API -> Examples -> HTTP Live for a list of streams on the backend and see URLs there.

I have the common 5MBps incoming and 700Kbps outgoing internet service and it's not enough to supply that stream. I assume the stream & outgoing bitrates are compatible units and I have to request a stream less than 700Kbps but I didn't try it.

HLS over ssh was more of a curiosity for me so I didn't spend much time trying to make it work. If you do take it all the way I would be interested in the details.

P.S. I'm surprised someone hasn't yelled at you for top posting. It's Very Frowned Upon in this vicinity.
