After messing around deciding on the Plasma I've eventually decided and ordered (well as good as, just waiting for MAW to call me to get card details).
I'm mounting the unit on an outside wall constructed of brick, concrete block and plaster.
The AV equipment is going to be appx 4m from the plasma.
Only cables going to plasma will be Component and Power.
I'd very much appreciate views/comments on the two options I've considered below please.
1. Drill hole all the way through the wall similar to what Taz did in his flat Taz has a friendly landlord. Then run cable inside some narrow plumbing waste pipe - like you'd have for you washing machine or overflow. this would make it water tight - along the side of the house. That side of the house isn't on show to the world so asthetics not a problem and even so it would look like a waste water pipe from a sink or something. Can hire a diamond core drill for £40 so shouldn't be a major job (famous last words).
2. Channel out 4m and re-decorate. Walls have lining paper on which has been overpainted. My fears with this are
a. Just had the house decorated, so could be agro from wife
b. You would be able to see the channel if the finish isn't spot on.
Cheers
