Hi,

I use myth a lot this way (xming or cygwin/X on windows and ssh to main box).
But all you can do is browse menus, setting things up and schedule recordings.
When it gets down to playing recordings or live tv all you get is a
black screen (probably due to overlays not being transfered through
the X protocol).

Anyway, I wish somebody would prove me wrong on this.

cheers,
Davide
