X-Forwarding mythtv-setup

If the backend machine that is being setup doesn't have an X server, mythtv-setup can be launched remotely through a ssh connection that has X forwarded over it.

It can be run on windows machine running Cygwin/X, a linux/unix machine running xorg-x11, or a MacOS machine running Apple/X11.

The connection is generally forwarded by running the following command on a client machine:

ssh USER@MACHINE -X

MACHINE is the ip address or hostname of the machine that you are ssh'ing into
USER is the username normally used for configuring things on this machine.

Once connected to the remote machine, apps can be launched as though they are being run locally.
