new puppy need a tv tidy!

moneylover

We have a veritable spaghetti of wires behind the Tv can anyone suggest a smart looking tidy or two

we have tv, ariel, humax and blue ray box - I havent counted but there are a lot of wires

Many many thanks - I have so many puppy related things to sort out that I am getting a bit panicked!

Some of the wires may be redundant. If you can post a clear photo of the wires and connections, someone on here will be able to advise you.

I must admit without a photo can't really recommend exact product. Products available for cable tidies - tubing, trunking, ties.

Is there a way to block off the area from the puppy, so it does not have access behind tv?

Agree with Myser, remove unused cable.

When we built the new house I spent a lot of time planning not to have spaghetti at the back..............all for nought :mad:

Good luck!

moneylover

might be able to block off but time we tidied it up anyway - and I want to keep my house as 'normal' as possible.
Why would we have redundant wires - its all modern equipment and used the cables supplied. Not being difficult, just puzzled because if some wires can be replaced with a wire that does more than one thing that's fine.
Happy to post a picture if I knew how!

Modern cables such as HDMI can carry picture, sound and data. They are much slimmer in profile than the old SCART leads.

thanks for stuff about pictures.
Maybe I should go to Maplins would that be a good bet? Or should I look at john lewis perhaps
hubby says we have all modern leads and need them all!

Myser

Would still be useful to see a photo of the spaghetti of wires so we can suggest what to use.

Call that a lot of wires...

Spiral wrap is pretty good and you only have a few wires compared to the mess behind our telly - i started to cat proof them but gave up, plan to do it properly with spiral wrap stuff shortly...
