I have a new plasma TV that I'll be mounting to a wall. The wall has a power outlet about 4-5 feet below. Is it going to be okay for me to simply drill a small hole behind the TV and run the power cord down to the base of the wall, drill another small hole, pull it out and plug it into the outlet? Ideally, I'd also like to run the satelite cables in that same space behind the wall (they are component cables), anyone see issues? I guess the main problem would be that the cables will be exposed behind the wall but I don't know how to tell if they are safe for that type of thing. However, with the way I see most nice entertainment systems all having "hidden" wires, I'd think it's okay. By the way, this is an interior wall.
