[mythtv-users] cidbcast mythudprelay and caller id on my laptop?

[David Won]

I found a way to do it. Might not be the most efficient but it works.
I run this on my laptop.
ngrep '' udp port 6948|osd_cat -p middle -c yellow -f
-adobe-helvetica-bold-*-*-*-34-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Whoo hoo it works.
The only thing left to do is fire up sed and strip out all the xml stuff.
