This is in the living room. Re: Digital Switchover practical advice Having read other replies to similar questions, moving the SH5 seems to be the offered resolution. No good to me as a 16 port switch is located near the SH5 and redoing the cabling the accommodate that would be a nightmare. Initial VM phone point is in the hall and a cable then runs to the living room where the phone is plugged in, ideally need cabling from the SH5 to the VM box in the hall downstairs. Digital Switchover practical advice Can somebody comment who has actually received the kit from VM and successfully transferred. My potential issue is that the SH5 is upstairs and the phone is downstairs. Presumably the kit is just a adapter for the SH5 and then a cable to the phone ?
