Thinking of moving my tv up onto the wall away from sticky fingers.laugh

Having done so I will be left with a sky+ box, ps3 and a dvd/vhs combo, so how the hell do you make that lot dissapear or at least look better?

If you're moving it away from sticky fingers, just beware that moving it too far up will give you neck ache hehe Otherwise, as above, route wires in the wall to a cabinet with everything in.

ETA: Waste some time on this thread with everyone elses set ups for some ideas? biggrin

Ha, I've seen these in action in pubs and can confirm that they will withstand a full pint of stella being hurled into them from 12ft away!

Best thing that you can do is get it chased down the inside of the wall. Just get a good sparks and he will do it. I would point out that if you are thinking of upgrading to Sky HD make sure that you run an additional HDMI lead down. Unless that is that you want everything linked to a home cinema system via optical. In which case you should only need one HDMI. I still have two as the good lady has no interest having surround sound watching Waterloo road!!!

Thats never going to change although i did get a really nice white table, put a false back on it and drill two 10cm round holes in it that sit directly behind the PS3 and SkyHD box. The false back creates a kind ff pocket that enables the table to sit flush on the wall and keeps all the cable tidy. It just looks like the table butts up to the wall and with the false back running to the floor you cant see any cables.Just trying to figure wout how to now hide B&W Zeppelin cable!
