Caller ID on TV screen showed my name & landline phone number as an incoming call

[2nswi]

My landline phone rang.  My TV Caller ID showed my name & my landline phone number as the caller.  After the 4th ring it stopped - before I could pick up..

How does this happen?

We have had this happen...It most likely was a telemarketer....they  are getting smarter..using local numbers instead of unfamiliar prefixes, etc...
