displays caption when it is your phone

With the high quality sound coming from the tv it's sometimes hard to tell if it's the tv or the phone, so I would like a device that would show me an instant captioned display on my tv, showing me if it is my phone.

Why? Because it just rattles my nerves a bit to hear a ringing when I'm trying to relax.

It would also be good for me if it showed a symbol (circle with slash) when it is part of the tv audio. I like black and orange for colors, black for tv audio/orange for phone, no green or red stuff please.

And throw in on-screen caller ID while you're at it please..ty

       Oh geez. Would your phone have a ring voice over that announced "This is not your television but is actually your phone ringing," too?

       In TV/movies, they have to have a '555'-number for everything. Why not have a special movie ringtone, too? You'd learn fairly quickly that it is the tv/movie and not your phone. (Unless you download 'that cool movie ringtone'). Doh!
