Re: Install question - existing broadband upstairs, new TV downstairs?

If the is an 'Isolator' (The internal slanted box) near to where you want the TV to go then yes,they can run a line from there & if you dont have any other wired phone extensions/sockets elsewhere apart from the main one,then they can put the phone socket anywhere you want.

I guess VM could take the telephone line from the existing white box in the study (that has the SACM attached) and just run a new cable outside the house for the new TV connection. As we don't have an existing new-style CTE-5 master socket presumably VM would be happy to run the phone connection to wherever we want it?

Mount the new VM socket there & swap the extensions over from the BT one.

Should that be Television ?
