Verizon FiOS TV → Re: Caller ID

The router/gateway, and stbs don't talk to the phone service which is on the ONT itself.

Sat boxes usually needed to be hooked up to a phone line, where Verizon's boxes have never needed a phone line to operate.

In the earlier days Comcast's boxes required a phone line to order ppv, but that was before they were able to fully communicate on the network.

It all comes in on 1 cable. Making this happen doesn't sound that hard it's probably just a low priority item for Verizon.

That's like saying you should be able to have TV on your POTS telephone, or a POTS phone call on your PC directly. Yeah they all come in on one cable, but they are very separate services.
