[mythtv-users] Control MythTV over network (not Mythweb)

[Anton Olsen]

Very nice.  I'll try to whip a better looking html file this weekend. 
Maybe try to make/steal some nice remote buttons and all.

I don't use a window manager, mythfrontend runs directly from
.Xclients-default so I simply added "xhost +" before executing the
mythfrontend.  The + opens up X access to any machine so if you're not
behind a firewall I'd recommend being careful with that.
