Hi, could somebody please confirm that the new wall socket boxes are ones that jut out at a really odd angle please? My old one was replaced today but I’m surprised that it wasn’t replaced with a traditional virgin socket box that has the cable enter directly underneath. This new one looks like it has been designed and angled to go over skirting boards - thanks for any replies

The new internal wall boxes are euro module units. Yep, they stick out at an angle so the cable is easier to route upwards. They are more visually pleasing (and actually white rather than fagnolia). They can support two coax modules so you don't need a visible splitter either.

Would be nice to have some pictures of the new boxes.

Not OP but just had VM installed - these are the new ones:

Indeed, I would've preferred the old VM type box but fortunately, the telly cabinet sits in front so we won't be able to see it/able to bump into it!

Ooh Euro modules - Makes life easier for any (non-authorised) home improvements... 🙂
Angled connection seems a bit odd, but I guess that's due to the inbuilt isolators (and the now-standrad push fit connectors...)?

Indeed. Haven't seen the backboxes before, though - Just the new build guide stuff.
Wonder where these could be procured. ...More Technetix stuff, no doubt!

What splitter are they using on the new sockets? Thanks
