Caller ID on your TiVo
Serious tinkerers might like to know there are network based Caller ID Programs out there to bridge the gap between your phone and computing devices, for mac, windows, linux, and even TiVo. The package doesn't look for the faint of heart, requiring file and command-line access to your TiVo, but it's a cool feature I've seen in a lot of satellite receivers and wonder why it's not already in TiVo.

How do you add caller id to your Tivo

I'm not sure how useful this is...especially when more and more people are switching to wireless phones as their main number. Todd Lokken.

I've got it on the new Directv box, and again, it's not spectacular. I can't really say it's useful.

After some time of playing with this and seeing it live (a couple of years), it's kinda cool. Not the best feature, but certainly not a fraud like the Directv DVR features (such as the on demand).
