I have used a couple of ways to control the mythtv such as ssh and firing off an xvkbd command or using asterisk as a remote. You can also control via the telnet interface and I believe this is how some of the webserver based remotes work. <br><br>The video quality is better than my old solution prior to the slingbox. I had a TV capture card that myth is not using record the output of the graphics card and then ffserv it to a remote mplayer.<br><br>Its been a while since I tried this though. <br></div></div></blockquote></div><br><div>Good to know. I could attach it to my backend in the basement and use my iPhone to control the frontend. Thanks!</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></body></html>
