Broadcasts work fine for me. I use this in several of my home
automation scripts.<br>
<br>
mythutil --message --message_text $message --timeout 5 --bcastaddr
192.168.1.255 <br>
<br>
My network is 192.168.1.0 w/ 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.<br>
<br>
I can receive the same message on many frontends.<br>

This is true. I do wish it would timeout as well. I have seen many
references to this on the list though. All of my frontends suspend
to ram so I don't usually have frontends running when they aren't
being used so it hasn't been an issue. This definitely should be
noted on the wiki<br>
