Looking to relocate Plasma

I currently have my Plasma on a unit but I'm considering mounting it above the fireplace and have the unit to one side for the A/V kit and have a few questions.

1. Anyone recommend a decent but not too expensive mount for a 42" Panasonic

2. since I'm going to have to channel the cables, any advise and trunkiing ideas so I can bury and re-plaster over. (I would prefer to go for a 45 degree channel from the TV to unit).

3. I'll probably go for only using one of the HDMI ports and buy a splitter/booster, what prerequisites should I consider here.

Thanks

Re: Looking to relocate Plasma

Thanks Loz, think I'll need one with a slight tilt facility due to the positioning height.

Re: Looking to relocate Plasma

Food for thought there, thanks chaps. Since I'm wanting to mount on the wall above the fireplace what length bolts and type is recommended. Should I go for expanding bolts or does it depend upon the material I'm drilling into (pretty sure it's breezeblock) as breast is on the outside wall.

the range from TLC come with all the wall bolts, and a huge collection of fixings and spacers included.

The also included locks as an additional security measure
