This is how I have got mine setup, I'm using HomeVision and a Solwise Caller ID unit.  The text definitely appears on the screen just before I hear the first ring.

I definately have seen CID BEFORE the first ring.

In my old house I had HV displaying CID overlayed on to the TV picture.
Sometimes you would see who was calling before you heard the phone ring.
