I stumbled upon a neat feature on my Dish Network DVR 625, you can have it display Caller ID information (if you have that service on your phone line). Nothing earth shattering, just a fun little feature have.
Instructions for enabling this are in Users Guide, page 101. For the PDF version it is Chapter 3 page 53. And for the really lazy:
- Press MENU on the remote control
- Select SYSTEM SETUP
- Select INSTALLATION
- Select CALLER ID
- Select ENABLE CALLER ID
- Select DONE
