I thought mine stopped showing, too. Then I noticed the pop-ups were displaying about 5 minutes after the call. May be time to reboot the DVR and router again.

Same thing happening here.

anon posted : I am currently using option #7 and remote DVR and on-screen CID works fine on my MVDVR unit. The only port I have forwarded to it from my personal router is 63145.

The guide in #8 says "the port forwarding rules for 63145 and 35000 should mirror the rules that you see in port forwarding on the Actiontec." I have an additional 2 STBs and a digital adapter. How do I know which STB is first so I can forward the 35000 port, which is the port that goes to the first STB?

If it is not showing on 1 box - thy this first:

Go into the STB and deactivate Caller ID.
Reboot the STB
Re-activate CID on that STB

It "should" now work.

I had the same issue with a STB/1.9 while at my sister-in-laws in MD I went into settigs, disaled caller id, exit the menu went back in and enabled caller id then called the house from my cell and it worked fine.

ViperNY posted : From my experience, Caller ID info comes from the Verizon router (not sure what port) and unless it is first inline, Tech support wont help you.

I used to have all kinds of issues with CID, but lately it has been pretty stable (not sure why). Also, I am still running 1.8, hoping for upgrade this week.

lijacobs posted : On-screen CID is a really badly designed calling feature. Allegedly, the VZ development team is working on a permanent fix. In the mean time post your problem on the VZ direct forum and they will reset the port mapping to your STB.

I have caller id activated on one non-DVR stb and it does not show caller id. I found the post above and notice in my diagnostic test, I get: FiOS TV Remote DVR: Listener 1 Started

which means caller ID isn't working correctly. Is this caused by incorrect port forwarding? How do I know which port this non-DVR stb is using for caller id? My MVDVR is using port 63145 and correctly shows caller id information on the screen.
