Help with AV Wall Chanel Please :)

[KurtisJ]

Hey, first post!

OK so ive decided to move my 46" LED TV to the wall and chanel the cables up to it through the plasterboard.

I was planning of getting some PVC trunking 50x25mm and placing that in the chanel and plastering back over it all so it looks flush, (and allowing me to ever replace or add cables in the future)

My problem is how to leave the top and bottom of the chanel.... obviously its going to be an open hole because all the cables will be running through it all, how how can i finish it and make it look half decent, im not too concerned about the top one because it'll be covered by the TV, and im going to have trunking running along the top of the skirting, so maybe run the cables from the wall straight into the back of this?

is this the best way to go about this?

Any advice would be greatly accepted

Thanks

Kurtis

Thats quite small conduit only hold a couple of cables?
Don't forget to add draw wire before you make good.

you could also cut in a couple of metal back boxes, there are plenty of cover plates that can be used to run cables through.

50x 25mm small? Hardly! I would have thought the op would only need one for power & one for signal & maybe 2 for sound or have things moved on that much in the TV world. (I'm a bit of an oldy )

how about connections for sky box, DVD, multiple speaker outputs etc. etc.

Fit the largest conduit you can!

That's too high for a television. Its not a Rembrandt painting where you would admire it standing up.

A television should have the base of the screen no more than two feet from floor level.
So when you are sitting in a sofa the center of the screen will be about eye level straight across the room.
