Cheers dude but im in Stoke so quite far away. Was going to have a go last night, had a few taps on the wall and found there are 3 blobs of plaster(or whatever is used to hold the plaster board on) between the top and bottom where the wires will be so ive got no chance. | |

If its dabbed you should be fine, best thing to do before you make a mess is take off an existing switch or socket on the same wall and see what kind of gap you have got, you can usually knock out of the the spare round 'knock-outs' in the metal backbox in the wall behind the socket/switch so you can see down the cavity. | |

obviuosly try and put the bracket onto a bit of framework as plasterboard isn't exactly strong | |

is the tv being bolted to an internal wall or the inside of an external? | |

If its a dabbed wall you should be okay, the gaps tend to be around 20-25mm which is big enough to drop a hdmi, coax and a flex down the wall. Dont even think about a scart lead though | |

tbh just cut a channel, lay the wires then fill over. Its not that hard. | |

As the clown said. I've had a few experiences of mucho fucking around getting wires behind walls. If there is a wide enough gap you might want to think about even cutting a section of the plaster out and fitting some trunking down there, or finding some existing trunking is always a brucey bonus. | |

there will be a gap, but you may not be able to simply run a wire down depending on how the plasterboard has been fitted. | |

Thinking of having my TV on the wall its a 32inch LCD I picked up a bracket off eBay however I dont want the wires hanging down the wall, even with trunking i think it looks a mess. |
