I've got almost no choice but to put all of my AV equipment on the same wall as our mains fuse box. Unfortunately, this means that there are loads of cables running up inside the dry-lined wall.
Obviously, I'm going to have to be very careful when mounting my new speaker and plasma screen, but I have two key questions:
1 - My cable detector just goes mad anywhere within about 100mm of the wall, so is there a better way to tell where the cables are than to just cut a narrow strip of plasterboard out with a stanley knife (carefully!) and have a look?
2 - Is there any way to avoid interference from the mains cable on my video cables? e.g. can I shield them somehow?
Thanks,
Rowland
