Just had a call from my local VM installation manager regarding the faceplate install issue (see my pic in previous thread). He told me that they have to have isolators to stop surges etc. so they have to use the surface mounted face plates as I had it installed. Its the same on all new builds apparently. There are 70 new houses in the development I live in all pre wired for VM like mine and he said they will need to be installed the same, with the surface plates. What the point then!

He said well your TV is in front of it isn't it? Well yes true, you can't see it behind the telly but I know its there. So frustrating.

Can you get the phone modules compatible with VM?

Cheers Mike
