Another possibility is to run VNC on the backend machine. That keeps all of the X11 protocol within the box and just exports a virtual framebuffer to the client. There are clients for most operating systems as well as for use inside of JVMs. I particularly like the fact that I can close my VNC client and the X11 apps are unaffected, so I can reconnect later (possibly on a different machine) and everything is just the way I left it. You can't really watch video over VNC, but you can start the MythTV frontend on the VNC desktop and get about 0.5 to 1 FPS over a 100MBit connection, which is enough to tell you that the tuner is working and the nuv files are readable.
