i have been hearing that people with triple play (tw cable, phone and broadband) see whose calling on their tv. makes sense it is all connected. but what i dont understand is why people with verizon dsl and dtv also see caller id on their tv. how does that work. how do the 2 connect??

    God forbid you glance up from the latest episode of Farmer Wants a Wife (a real show!) to see who might be calling you.

    ;)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I have Directv, phone line plugs directly into the satellite box and when someone calls, pops up on the tv.

    That seems like a lot of work to flash 10 numbers on my TV. I get it through the Cablevision triple play and it's cool the first twenty times but after a while you stop noticing it and go for the phone anyway. At least I do.
    Currently listening to:

    Marantz SR5004
    Sony BDP-S370
    Apple TV V2
    Audio Technica AT-LP120
    Mirage CMD-5 x 5
    Bic H-100
