I would agree with this sentiment.  It is over easier for me to VPN into 
my home network so I don't get prompted for authentication than to try 
to use web server auth.

I frequently want to use mythweb when I am away from home to schedule 
recordings, but being prompted everytime for a password on IOS devices 
is annoying.
