If I can get away with it in the command line, I use good old ssh. If
the job requires an X connection, I use x11vnc on the mythbox, and
x2vnc on my machine. Means I can use my keyboard and mouse to control
the tv screen. Obviously will only work if you can see the tv screen
and your computer at the same time :-)
