Hi, I'm wall mounting a TV in my new house and looking for some advise regarding hiding the power lead behind the wall.
In my old house I installed a spur to my wall mounted TV which was relatively easy as there was a mains ring socket just below the tv area.
However in my new house, the living room only has sockets at the corners of the room and none close to the TV (central to the room) so a fair bit more work installing a spurs. Therefore I was just planning on running an extension lead at floor level to the tv area and have the standard tv lead (plugged into the extension socket) enter the plasterboard wall through a brush entry point and exit at tv level. The house is was built in 2006 and I have already opened the wall (to install the HDMI cables) which I see is all filled with insulation. I was wondering if there any problems in doing this.
