If your host is a Windows-based system, you will need to install an X-server first. Xming is good, and free (<a href="http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/" target="_blank">http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/</a>)<br>
<br>
Once you have that, you can configure PuTTY to enable X forwarding over SSH.<br>
<br>
If your host is a Linux or OSX based system, you can simply use "ssh -Y user@machinename" to connect to machinename with X forwarding.<br>
<br>
Once you have that, it's a simple call to "mythsetup" to set things up.<br>
<br>
While you could watch video that way, it would be done with no acceleration whatsoever (you'd get around 3FPS with a good connection), and no audio at all (In theory you could run a pulseaudio daemon on your local system and forward the audio to that, but Myth doesn't support pulseaudio at the moment), so the performance would be much less than stellar.<br>
