Caller ID on TV?

Post by Nand1065 »

Is there a way to have my caller ID show on the TV? Not sure I can do it with MJ.

Other than super-gluing your MJ phone to your TV screen I don't see how.
MAYBE if you run a HDMI cable from your PC to your TV sure, but then all you will be looking at is your PC screen on your TV and not watching TV.

My directv receiver shows the number on my screen. You need to run a phone line from your MJ to the satellite or cable box if they support a phone line. You will need to do the resistor fix or get magicfeatures to get the caller id to work.

See I learn something new everyday.... Not having satellite TV I had no idea..
Sounds like a good plan to try. MUCH better than super-glue :)

If you have a Tivo or HTPC, you could use YAC

I did this years ago with this software and a modem on my HTPC.
