Hi Folks

I am thinking of getting a wall mounted TV.

Can you kindly advice how best to hide the leads and wires coming from the back of the TV.

Also, where should I place my sky box and best way to connect it to TV?

Thank You

    There are two basic ways to hide TV wires: on the wall or behind the wall.Simplest approach is some trunking you stick/glue/apply to the wall and you can probably paint it too.

    Re: Sky box, it'll connect in the same way the TV does now, probably HDMI.  Not sure why you think sticking a TV on the wall affects this?

    To hide the leads you will need to chase them behind the wall. 
    A competent installer or an aerial / satellite engineer will do this for you.
    Normally they will include an HDMI lead along with the power so you just put the sky box near the power outlet.
