I'll try to answer those:
1) firewall issue. Probably the best bet is to setup an ssh tunnel and
pipe the mythtv port through it. You can setup the tunnel with
compression which may or may not help with the streaming.
2) remote control. You install the frontend on your laptop or whatever
you're watching it on. The frontend will take care of all the interface
you need. If you're referring to IrDA remote and such things, you install
it in addition to the frontend on your laptop.
3) resolution. You can configure those games to be recorded in low
resolution in the first place if you don't plan on watching it again when
you get back. You can also transcode to lower resolution, I believe, but
I have no experience in that aspect. If I were in your situation, I'd
just set it to record at lower bitrate in the first place. Also, since
network bandwidth will be an issue, I'd be sure to encode it in MPEG4
rather than MPEG2.

thanks for all your responses.
The reason I am interested in realtime streaming is
because I want to see live sport events that don't
broadcast in my area (Americans don't care much for
soccer; sigh). I'm willing to compromise on the
quality if I get the feed in realtime.
The frontend/backend thing sounds like a proper
client/server architecture that does exactly what I'm
looking for. What I'm not sure about is (1) firewall
issues (2) remote control (3) reduce the resolution of
the feed before streaming.

over a dsl line would
be pointless. Especially considering most US dsl
customers have ADSL with
much lower upstream bandwidth. It might be best to
just setup a
transcoding system so recorded shows automatically
get transcoded to a
smaller xvid/divx file that you grab over scp/rsync.
I actually did this
for daily show for nights that I couldn't watch it.
It'd reencode at
lower resolution and upload to my other machine,
constantly keeping the
last 5 days worth.

- run MythTV on a PC without a monitor

Internet.
You can do that, but MythTV has no security.
Anyone will be able to login
(because there is no login) and watch and delete
music and launch DoS.
You could augment Myth security through firewall
that would limit access to a
certain IP.
- use another machine as a client to watch the
stream.
The stream is pretty data intensive. 10 MBit is a
must.
