CNAM via Callcentric works on DirecTV Receivers, but not with phone

It is possible that GV is ringing and not Callcentric on your Obi. Disable Google Chat in Google Voice and see if it fixes the problem. The same setup works fine for me.

I think you misunderstand the setup. The OBi100's PHONE port is connected to the house wiring.  The phone and the DirecTV are plugged into the house wiring.  CID/CNAM appear on the DirecTV but not on the phone.

plug your phone into the same jack the DirecTV box is getting it's phone signal from and see if that improves?  Either the phone is having issues internally or the wiring in your home is affecting what the phone can see.

The phone jack the DirecTV receiver is plugged into is hard to reach behind my entertainment center, so I tried plugging my phone directly into the OBI, rather than OBI->house wiring. CNAM caller id did start working, not 100%, maybe 75%, but way better than 0. Ran that way for a few days, then restored the original config and it's back to zero. Seems there may be something going on in walls. I'll be troubleshooting that soon, hoping to find the smoking gun...figuratively of course.
