Re: [AR] caller ID on tv
said by jchambers28  :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.
What you describe is an interesting idea for a product/feature - I will make sure the prod-dev folks in Atlanta know about the suggestion. |

| as in POTS.
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)

that would be neat if they did that. just plug a phone cord in to the back of the box and caller id show up. I don't know why they cant make it work for every one regardless of phone company. I would like to be able to take the shows off of the DVR and send them to my pc like TiVo has. It will be interesting to see what cox and TiVo come up with. |

I have three different cable boxes (DCT2000, DCT2500, CMH3416) and not a single one has a phone jack (RJ 11) in the back. Im not sure where the phone cord would go in to make it work for other providers. |
