I don't have an .htaccess file.

That's because my MythTV isn't listening to any ports from the
outside world. If I want to jigger it remotely, I have to SSH in
to my main machine, then tunnel over to the MythTV.

If you can afford to have a gateway machine on all the time --
and a $99 SheevaPlug only sips about 12W -- I do recommend this
approach.
