MythTV can be controlled remotely from any IP based device, including an Android smartphone. Using a software (app) on the Android smartphone such as Mythmote turns your smartphone into a remote control for MythTV.
Your front-end system should be assigned a static IP address. Although this is not a requirement, it will prevent future connectivity issues as a result of the IP being reassigned.
Frontend Setup
From within the MythTV front-end navigate the following: Utilities / Setup -> Setup -> General
The General Setup is a wizard with several screens to click though. Just keep clicking the next button in the bottom right until you come to the "Remote Control" screen, which should be screen eight.
Check the box labeled "Enable Network Remote Control Interface." Leave the default port set to "6546". Now click the next button in the bottom right and on the final screen click the finish button in the bottom right.
