[mythtv] Myth TV onscreen Caller ID

[Shawn Rutledge]

Did you find a way to get vgetty to output the caller ID info as soon as
the modem receives it, or do you have the problem I do with it being
delayed by one ring?  (It should be displayed after one ring, but instead
it's displayed after 2 rings.)
