MythRemote

MythRemote is a utility that turns your iPhone into a MythTV remote control.

It does this by utilising the network socket interface on a MythTV frontend (via WiFi).

The application is written by H. van Galen and is published by Kamaguna.

Troubleshooting

Connection problems?
If you have not used the network interface on your frontend before, you may need to enable it in your frontends configuration.

Screenshot problems?
The workings of MythTV Frontend have changed, and as such the Screenshot functionality in MythRemote is kind-of broke. There is a workaround though -- see here for details.
