Mounting a TV
 

I want to mount a TV on the wall, but what solutions are there for hiding the cable box?

I was thinking of a Sonos sound bar or speakers along with it.

Regrettably, I couldn't hide my cable boxes. With FIOS HD, I have to change the channels via the box; the remote infrared needs line of sight to the cable box. I did use plastic cable 'cordmate' tracks from Home Depot to clean up the cables a little bit. I'm a long way from being skilled (or confident?) enough to run cables inside the walls.

I mounted a TV once.

Ever since, I'm not allowed in Best Buy anymore.

You can get infrared extender cables that receive the signal on a little lens. So you can hide the DVR and stick the new receiver in a plant or something. But you still have the wires to the from the DVR to the TV.

I having an electrician do the work.

So, after poking around online, it looks pretty straight forward. I need a wall mount that holds the DVR, Cable Box, Etc... behind the TV and may need an IR extender.

Have a friend that used almost that exact same rig, he got the IR extender and just attached it at the bottom edge of the t.v., he actually had it on the top but once you saw it your eye would always be drawn to it, so bottom it was.

Try asking at Best Buy, just don't tell them I sent you.

If they were all RF remotes, or you could run everything on a logitech, I hang that junk in the basement.

depending on what's on the other side of the wall, I mounted mine on a wall next to a closet and ran all the wires thru the wall and put the box on a shelf in the closet, and just got an infrared cable on amazon for like 5 bucks.
