I guess I don't follow what your saying. I realize how it could work and will someday work for Cox phone.

Yes it would help because their TV could provide the caller ID info and not rely on a box from the cable company (because they don't have cable TV.) Building the hardware and software would raise the cost of the cable box (and may raise rental cost) as well. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457189 Fri, 09 May 2008 13:35:48 EDT Re: [AR] caller ID on tv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456592 jchambers28 : sound like a great idea to me]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456592 Fri, 09 May 2008 11:36:12 EDT Re: [AR] caller ID on tv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456525 ajwees41 : are you sure?

I assume that you have to have Caller ID on your Cox line for that to work, but I'll try to remember to test the theory over the weekend.

Well, because to have a phone jack and have caller ID built in would be something the manufacturers of the boxes would have to build in and develop software for, not Cox. They can request it and they can probably pay extra for it, but its hard to see what it gives them in return.

I have three different cable boxes (DCT2000, DCT2500, CMH3416) and not a single one has a phone jack (RJ 11) in the back.

Probably so you stick with their own phone service. Get you hooked on a feature so you can't live without it.

Just curious...

the bill with caller ID is about $15 less with Embarq then with Cox that's not including the lifeline discount we get.

if you guys offered a 500 minute plan for say $10.00 a month then i MAY reconsider.

Cox is getting better on cable (were getting 10 new channels next month) and their net is the fastest here (hopefully faster..hint hint)

Too bad u cannot plug a phone into the box of the box and make it work. I see a phone jack in the back of the box.
The way the caller ID on the TV works uses data messages to the box from the cable interface.

I believe the phone jack was once used for telephone return path - like satellite - as we once had a few small areas that had telco return but with all of our plant now being return activated this is no longer necessary.
