I have had a Direct TV Hughes TiVo DVR - 40 for several months now. Originally the unit was connected to the phone lines via a wireless unit without a problem.

I was under the impression that the unit would have to be connected directly to a wall jack for the on Screen Caller ID to work. Therefore, I have now arranged to have a jack installed for the DVR but caller ID is not working and I can find no setting in the setup menu to activate caller ID.

Anyone have any ideas? Or was I just delusional that the Hughes Tivo DVR-40 could do this?

Thanks,
Scott
 
None of the Tivos support callerID out of the box. If you are an enterprising chap you could hack caller ID support in, but that is fairly technical.
 
I was really let down by the lack of caller id too. I love my Tivo, but I like on screen caller id. It seems like such a small thing to add.
