This is what I use.

In extensions.conf.
same => n,System(MythTVCallerid "${CALLERID(name)}" ${CALLERID(num)} &)

Shell script named MythTVCallerid

#!/bin/bash

export HOME=/home/mythtv

mythutil --notification \
--bcastaddr 192.168.1.255 \
--type warning \
--message_text 'You have an incoming call!' \
--origin 'Asterisk' \
--description "\
NAME: $1
Number: $2
Date: `date`
" \
--timeout 30

exit 0;

This will send it to all frontends which you may or may not want.
Also the backend is running on the same machine as Asterisk.
