I will soon be fitting a wall-mounted TV on a bracket; it will be attached to a plastered brick wall about 18" above a to-be-built-in cupboard. The cupboard will contain the mains socket, aerial socket, cable TV box, home theatre setup and all other gubbins, and I want to hide all cables in the wall for a clean look. No surface-mounted ducting allowed!
I'm thinking the easiest way of achieving this would be to bury a fairly substantial length of ducting in the brickwork/plaster, leading to probably a socket box buried in the wall next to the TV mount, big enough to allow flexes with the likes of an HDMI plug and kettle-type plug to be drawn through; ie can easily be removed/replaced/upgraded as and when in the future. Much easier than what I see as the only alternative, ie organising permanently plastered in cables (mains and video) terminating in proper sockets HDMI faceplates etc above and below the counter top of the cupboard (especially as that would involve more junctions in the signal cables feeding the TV.
Anyone done anything similar, and have any comments or suggestions (especially for suitable ducting and termination thereof top and bottom?
Thanks David
