I have Qwest Communications. We don't have Comcast in Phoenix...
I hate Cox! Hate it! Anyways... Qwest has this really cool feature called Caller ID. You can press the "Call ID" button on your remote and it shows you the last 9 callers Caller ID, Phone number and when they called.(Pic below for both pictures click on it to get a better view)          
 
Also when you are watching television, like say watching TWC, and somebody calls, it would tell you who called. (Pic below)

Comcast (well, what do you know folks!)  :rolleyes:

Current WeatherSTAR unit: IntelliSTAR.
Local WeatherSTAR ID number: 022878
Cable channel location: 2 (formally 36)

Former cable headend owners:
General Electric Cablevision Company - 1975?-1986?
UA Cablevision of Illinois - 1986?-1991?
TCI - 1991?-1998
AT&T Broadband - 1999-2000
Insight Communications - 2001-2007

Note: Comcast took over our cable headend since Janurary 1, 2008. They divided the Insight-Midwest partnership in Illinois. I hate Comcast (and I even hate our broadcast market too)!  :furious:
Classic TWC, Weatherscan, legacy WeatherSTARs, and classic Prevue/TV Guide fan.

R.I.P. Weatherscan: 1999-2022

Comcast, and I HATE IT! :angry:
This is what I would like to do to them :club:

I wish I had Charter, because they never updated their version of WS XL to Intellistar like Comcast did  :twothumbs:

I always say, there's nothing intelli(gent) about intellistar!
