on screen caller ID

[Lkr]

my question is, do D* receivers support a feature like this? if so, if I hook up one receiver to the phone line, will it only appear on that receiver, or will it appear on all of them

A phone line will need to be connected to each receiver that needs caller ID.

Speaking of Caller ID ....
Mine worked flawlessly on the new HR24, while my HR20's were spotty.
Now that I have ran the most recent CE, I no longer have CID working on the HR24 .....

My HR24 only works once in awhile ... usually after a reset. Hopefully an upgrade will help this out.

Mine was working great till the last CE, are you saying yours IS working after a reboot or your gonna try a reboot ?

 

[Jimbo]

Thanks Larry !
I decided to do a reboot and now the CID IS working again.

Well see for how long

My HR24 is intermittent just like my HR20.....reset fixes it, but only for a few days....

I'll keep an eye on it.

I think I'd rather watch the recorded shows than worry about whether Caller ID is working.

IMHO: Caller ID on the DVR is way overrated. The cordless phone handset on my side table works for me just fine. Let the flames begin.

Where did anyone say you could not watch a recorded show if the CID was working ?

Personally, I like it because I don't have to find my glasses to see whose calling on the phone CID.

I was just saying, somewhat obtusely, that why worry about whether CID is working when the important part is the recordings.

I'd rather not have a CID pop up on the screen when 75% of the calls are 'unknown'.

To each his own.

Yes,
I understand your point, recordings and functional DVR comes first, I've fought with the CID for 4 -5 years now ....

CID is a very minor thing and technically D* doesn't have to support it because a lot of things could cause it to not work.

IF my HD DVR is working as expected, I like it when my CID works as well
