Same here.  I've got a combined FE/BE, but I still run mythtv-setup more
frequently from my desktop using ssh than I do from the living room
where the FE/BE and TV are located since my desktop has a much more
ergonomic configuration for using a keyboard than what I've got in the
living room.

My only complaints are that mythtv-setup paints the screen very slowly
over ssh, and it takes over the entire screen.  I'm looking forward to
the upcoming switch to web based configuration.
