apologies in advance for such a basic question!
I am moving soon and I am hoping to buy a decent TV, Amp, 5.1 kit (room is relatively small). I have a Sky HD subscription plus a PS3.
I wanted to buy the TV/Home theater later on, as it all will depend on budget I have left over from re-decorating etc.
I would love to put a tv up above a fire place we have. To me it seems very messy...I'm not a DIY master or anything close! I would want it done so that there is no wiring on display etc. The problem is that I assume that this needs to be done BEFORE painting or wall papering the wall? Is that correct? I was told by a friend that it needs to be plastered over?
Secondly, I am getting the carpet changed, so I thought it could be a good idea to lay some wiring down where the rear speakers may go, before hand. is this a good idea? If so....any recommendations? Again I'm assuming most amps take all modern/current cables?
As you can see I have very little idea of what I'm doing so any advice would be great!!
