Best option for hiding cables behind tracked wall.

Hi Guys, I have a shell of a house and have taken the opportunity to wall mount the TV. The electrician has fitted a single socket above the fireplace which runs down the side of where the fireplace will be. My quetion is this, what is the best way to ensure as few cables as possible running behind the track they cut which will be platered this weekend? Is there anything which runs multiple functions i.e. HDMI, Scarts etc... Many many thanks.. :)

    Run separate wires for everything you think you might need in the future.
    Better to have too many cables than not enough, they won't do any harm and cost little even if you don't use them.
  • Have been advised to try a wall plate? Anyone used these before? Thanks.
