This script supplies onscreen Caller-ID information. It requires either elseed or NCID and is most useful to those that have Trickey running, as they can assign a key on their remote to have instant access to their call information.  It will output to out2osd (if it's on the path) or text2osd.
cidtv is an adaptation of my cidrss program, but it does NOT require Tivoweb.

Features:

• Sorts records to newest first
• Lets you specify number of records
• Three different phone number formats: (123)456-7890; 123-456-7890; 123.456.7890
• Will fix all-caps
• Will reverse order of names (Last First -> First Last or Last First M -> First M. Last)
• Can download log file from remote Tivo

Switches:

• prog - ncid or elseed.  Defaults to ncid.
• log - location of log file.  Defaults to "/var/log/cidcall.log".  If your call log resides on another Tivo, prefix the name with 'ftp://', ie: 'ftp://192.168.1.20/var/log/cidcall.log'.
• tz - location of tzoffset.txt, a file used by mfs_ftp.  Usually not necessary, but certain versions of elseed need the time zone to properly display call time.  Defaults to "/hacks/mfs_ftp/tzoffset.txt".
• count - number of records to display (5)
• delay - time, in seconds, to appear onscreen (10)
• fix_case - Correctly capitalizes names, standardizes state abbreviations, fixes order of 'the', 'Dr', etc
• last_1st - reverse order of proper names.  Phone companies are not at all uniform about how they send cid information so if all your names look backwards, change last_1st to "no".
• pf - phone format (see file for details)

Installation and usage:
Change any of the above options in cidtv.tcl, then copy it to your hacks folder. 'Count' and 'delay' can be specified on the command line, so running the script with './cidtv.tcl 3 15' would show the three most recent calls onscreen for fifteen seconds.  If you would like the script to be a little faster and don't mind giving up some formatting, change 'last_1st' and 'fix_case' to "no".
