Just mounted a 40" TV to the wall. I want to conceal the power lead and coax aerial flylead in a short length of mini-trunking to tidy things up. If I run them together in a single section, say 25 x 16, will I get "noise" on the aerial from the power lead?

I did this temporarily myself in 25x16 and had no issues. Had coax, CAT6, power and hdmi in there and it was fine.

Shouldn’t recommend it but just saying what I did! They do do slightly ‘nicer’ looking stuff for the job but it’s in the eye of the beholder as they say. Anything looks better than trailing cables
 
Did the same in my kids room. B&Q do some nice half rounded coloured trunking, so I bought one in cream which matched the wall perfectly.
I'm doing another one in the next few weeks, but this time I'll be pulling the cables up behind a plasterboard wall and fitting a socket with the wall mount.

Thanks. Had thought of installing sockets but only a couple of feet visible above a chest and didn't seem worth carving up a brand new wall. I'll get some D-line trunking in the nearest wall colour (probably white!).
