Help! Does anyone have good pictures of channeling/conduits that they have installed?

I am having trouble getting my builder to fully understand what I want done with regards to my wires for my TV in our house renovation. Does anyone have good pictures of their or another install using channeling or conduit in the wall to carry the cables?

It would be even better if it is one large enough to allow me to feed wires down it at a later date!

I'd like to see this too as i'm thinking of channeling out my wall for my tv cables. What size plastic pipe should i use? And how or what can be used to cover up where the cables come out the wall?

Simple chasing out and capping is the most effective, see below:



With cables installed:



Completed plaster and paint:



Unless you have an easy way to put conduit in I would not reccommend it, you have to go deep into the wall and you could end up breaking building regs etc.

Just make sure you get the cables in:

2 coax (satalite grade)
2 or 3 HDMI
2 or 3 Cat 5e
Power
2 or 4 audio

Hope this helps,

Dupe...

Thanks so much! I looked at your pictures before but they were too small. These ones are perfect!

I have grabbed some others off google but I will show those and yours to my builder. I don't think I will have too much trouble installing in some way as we don't even have the walls at present!
