    it's not that new an idea (but what is!). The Netgem freeview players have been able to do this for a few years.

    you can do this with directv too.

    Actually, this is a great tool for people who are visually impaired and can't read those tiny, tiny caller ID screens. It'd also be good for folks with hearing disabilities who can't hear the phone ring while the TV is on.

    Yeah the Directv box is hooked up to the phone line (to see if your box is hooked up to the right address, sucks) and so when the phone rings it says it on the screen, and it's oooler then it sounds. Especially if somebody is trying to sneak a phone call!! It's really handy but not 73 dollars handy though. I would spend about 10-20 bucks on this.
