Wall mounting lcd tv

Don't bother with the co-ax. Just use the TV as a monitor and run a single S-Video (if supported by the DVD/STB) or SCART (more likely) to where the boxes are. Use an AV amplifier to switch the video signals and don't bother using the pathetic speakers likely to be installed in the TV.

Obviously the cable has to be stripped and soldered - but this is nothing like as difficult as it may sound if you haven't done it before. Then having got the confidence you can make up some SCART leads of exactly the right length to go from the socket to the TV. ;-)
