[QUOTE="Robojin, post: 161872, member: 2209"] Firstly Id recommend installing trunking 25x50mm with a back box each end (with cut out to take trunking), and then plaster over, mount a data grid (single gang) plate top and bottom. Its pointless plastering over the cables, because you have one opportunity to get it right and no opportunity to fix if a cable fails without ripping it all out. Power (e.g a spur behind TV) should be installed separately with min 50mm of separation to AV trunking With trunking you can pull any cable you like through as the standards or needs dictate. if you need a SCART (I hardly ever install now) pull this through first as its the bulkiest As Lurch says 2x HDMI (next standard is 1.4 relevant mostly to 3D), 1x coax, 1x CAT5 (TV supporting Youtube etc), but again if you have trunking you can pull more through easily as desired e.g. if the TV has FreeSat pull through another coax. If you don't have a AV amp with multi HDMI in, you can pull extra HDMI's through Lastly get your bracket so you can check mounting positions don't interfere with the nice new socket and trunking planed route [/QUOTE]
