Another option would be to use mythweb thru an ssh tunnel. You'd have to
open up a port on your router to allow ssh thru to your mythtv server
and then invoke ssh with the options to open a local port that would be
redirected thru the ssh session to the mythweb server. I use this
technique when I'm away from home to check on the server and schedule
programs.
