quick question regarding power

just moving my lcd tv.

have a quick question regarding power supply.

would it be safe to have a 6 way extention lead behind the t.v.? there would be 4 normal plugs & 2 adapter like plugs (phone & netgear router)?

there would be a gap of approx 8mm between the adapter plugs & the back of the t.v.

do you guys think this will be safe or am i better not going there?

thanks in advance

legs?

You should have no problems with your 6 way adapter. Some PSU's run a little hot so just make sure you keep that 8mm gap and ensure a good airflow above and below. Having said that, you are very unlikely to have any heat problems just running a phone and router, though.
