Has anyone heard of a service that shows the calling party's name on your television set when they call you?

Question

I heard that if you are watching television at the time you receive a phone call the tv screen shows you who is calling. Thanks. April.

Answer 1

We have Time-Warner digital phone service and that is one of the features that comes with it.

Answer 2

ITs really new, your tv and phone line have to both be broadband, it does not work with conventional land line phones. Comcast is starting it in the winter, it no additional charge, they say, but a small box is AGAIN added to yet the massive string of obnoxious and tiresome c**p already littering the floor under your computer desk or tv set.  

Answer 3

I have DirecTV and some of their receivers offer this feature.
