Post pics of your TV on the wall

interesting

Indeed. If you saw that center channel I posted earlier in CT, it is huge. I would put it where the TV is now. It keeps me from worrying about upgrading my TV and focusing on other things.

"3' to the right "

right there you will encounter 2 studs. at least. In order to move side ways you need to run new wire from below, if its an unfinished basemnt, or from attic. I think your stuck with it as is. If you had any electrical know how it could be done easy, but if your looking at partsexpress for home wirering products...gl.

If this was something I had to do, as a repair. I'd have the fortitude and patience. With something optional, I am considering other avenues. Another thing I saw in looking at other pics, some walls have boards perpindicular to the studs. If one of those where in the way when trying to route the wires, I'd be in a heap of trouble.

They have those plastic things that cover it, but that is meh.

I will eventually cut a hole in the wall to run the wires through though.

You don't want to do that. That is what this thread is about.

I can cheat and go with something like this:

Well, I was talking to an Electrician today, He said it was fine to just use some wall grommit thing and drop the wires down. But if your are relocating a plug, romex must be used. So your good to go.

just remember to keep the 120v power wires on the opposite side of your low voltage cable/hdmi/ect cord...

not necessary....

i ran them all through the same hole.

if you want i can send you some stuff minus the saw........

i cut holes and put in a wallplate w a rather large hole for all cables to fit through.

1 hdmi, 1 optical, power @ component.......

that comment was made when i thought he was relocating his outlets. and in which case, he should definitely separate the two...

and the only time you should keep your 120v separate from your low voltage cables is when you're making taps (ie: bare copper stripped onto prongs/set screws ect.). plugs and wires are already insulated sufficiently...

from earlier in the thread...
