Tim,
Like you, I've got opinions ;-)
I just don't think I've got any insights that you aren't already aware
of. I remember you joining the group back in March 1999, and figure that
3 years ought to have been long enough for an obviously intelligent guy
to have picked up the pros and cons.
Personally - if I were doing it all over again, and money weren't a big
issue, I'd go for upmarket stuff controllable by HomeVision somehow!
Regards,
Mark Harrison

So how can we help change this status? Is there any way we can influence
the manufacturers to only supply fully functional solutions in this
limited market?

Such as? I can feel my wallet vibrating...

Mine has been a semi-total rewire - doing it in sections. Basic
rule I'm following is to route everything back to one side of
the house and along to one central point. That gives me the
flexibility to change things later - I can wire pretty much
any combination - never enough wires :)
