YAK CallerID

[daggo]

Will OzTivo work with YAK? I don't see why it wouldn't. YAK will display Caller IDs of incoming phone calls on your TiVO, and you can see it here http://sunflowerhead.com/software/yac/index.html

I run a asterisk server and it would be neat if I could have CID flash up on the screen. Just tickles the dag in me.

Very cool!

Hrm. does this mean I have to dig out my modem for my pc? ;)

You've probably worked this out already, but yes, YAC does work with Tivo.
Have a look at http://www.nztivo.net/index.php/CallerIDonTivo (http://www.nztivo.net/index.php/CallerIDonTivo) for info and links to the software.

That's good news. I can't test it yet as my mother-in-law sent my TiVO by sea mail! So I won't see it for a while (boo hoo).

exten => s,4,System(perl /bin/TivoCallerID \"${CALLERIDNAME}~${CALLERIDNUM}\" &)

priority 4 because I do a lookup on the number in my monster db (whole of Holland) to get the name...
