MY TV doesn't show who is calling in the top right corner anymore

We used to have the phone number and name of a person calling our landline show in the upper right corner of the TV.  We had to purchase a new TV (Samsung) and now it doesn't show that info anymore.  How can I get it back?

The concern is not "Home Security Devices And Equipment" help related........... Topic moved here to the TV help section for assistance.

... calling our landline show in the upper right corner of the TV ... now it doesn't show that info anymore ...

Check your cable box Settings / Preferences / Notifications to see if "Xfinity Voice" is still enabled.

@BruceW​ thanks for coming to my rescue.  I'm an old lady and non techy so have no idea how to mess with the cable box other than choosing channels or recording stuff!!  I tried calling Xfinity and after about 15 minutes of phone tree and not having the correct wording for my problem I gave up.  Can you tell me how to do what you said?  I mean, I'm really on my own in this arena!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK  YOU!!!  I tried just with the voice command and of course that didn't work, so I did it the long way - as you suggested - and it worked immediately!!  I'm not adventurous at all and afraid to click on any buttons or icons on anything, which is crippling as you can imagine!  I'm forever grateful!
