So you're currently taking a break from all the buzz at work by tuning in to CNN when your phone rings, prompting you to pick it up automatically as you think it is one of your clients who called. When you pick it up, you realize that it is another pesky

salesman trying to pitch you a brand new printer for your organization. How do you avoid such calls while relaxing in front of the tube? The answer is simple - get the TV Messenger with Caller ID. This device comes with a 14 caller log that stores information such as the name, number, date, time and number of times they called. A red LED indicates the presence of callers in the log, blinking when messages are waiting. You plug the TV Messenger between the Video In RCA jack of your TV and the Video Out jack of your cable box, VCR, or any other similar item. Make sure you subscribe to your phone company's Caller ID service beforehand. The next time somebody calls you while you're watching TV, his/her number will flash on the TV screen itself, letting you know whether to answer the call or not. Smart Home is offering the TV Messenger for $109.99.
Pros : Displays Caller ID on TV screen without interrupting show
