how do i fix it? thanks first.

TVtime uses the XVideo. The theory behind XVideo is, that a part
of the videocard's framebuffer (VRAM) is mapped into system
memory. The TV tuner card is then made to DMA the video content
at exactly this portion of the memory (if no software
postprocessing is done), this bypassing the CPU, resulting low
system load. But for this to work, TV tuner and graphics card
must be the same machine.

However using SSH implies, that you are not on the same machine.
SSH provides a mode in which such shared memory situations are
emulated. You get it by using the '-Y' option instead of -X when
making the connection, but this must be configured on at least
the server side. Anyway this would transfer uncompressed video,
which is not recommened.

A far better solution would be, to transfer the video in
compressed form, by streaming it over the net.

Have a look at VLC, which provides easy to use streaming
capabilities.

You can use SSH for tunneling the traffic.
