I assume the TV covers it when it gets mounted on the wall.

Also, I will have to go into the attic and run some wiring/coax down into the wall. One of the cons for this would be that I am committed to that location once I install the wall outlet box. One alternative is to use one of those TV stands with the "wall mount" type bars up the back and a few shelves below to hold the cable/Dish/DVD boxes.

It seems that it is either that or run the wires up the wall surface in one of those cable hiding channels/conduits.
If I mount the TV on the wall, I still have to figure out how to have the cable/Dish/DVD boxes nearby. Any suggestions? |
As long as you're going to do a new drop, you might want to think of installing an additional outlet below your media box as you stated there wasn't an outlet on the wall. As long as you're making a mess, might as well have fun with it!
