I have something even better: talking caller id. When the phone rings, it either calls out the number (or name if there's one that shows up), or says either "number unknown" or "out of area" (usually a telemarketer). We're on the do not call list, but still get a fair number of calls from our credit card companies and their "affiliates". So even if we're not watching TV, we can hear whether it's worth it to get up to answer the phone.
