Why does Caller ID not exist on TV? |
|
And what about *69? My mom even has caller ID, and she can't even use her answering machine! :shrug: Duckie

1. Our caller ID shows up on our TV because we have DISH satellite. |
|
There is a setting for it.

10. I saw a mention of Caller ID on "Law and Order" just last night... |
|
...and it was a rerun.
It's there when the writer needs it for the plot...and Not there where it's either irrelevant to the plot, or its presence is required to advance the plot.
It's a tool...nothing more...and not everyone chooses to have it around.

11. I have caller ID, but I forget about it a lot |
|
since the phone with the caller ID is in the other room.
plot device, in other words.
