The TV, the cables, the power point, i don't quite understand. Are you saying we shouldn't mount the TV on the wall or put the power point somewhere else. thanks Re: Wall mounts, electricals and all that jazz! 7Sep 08, 2009 11:11 am I am having the same issues. I organised for the PP behind the TV (sorta below it actually, between where the mount will be and the bottom of the TV). I like the idea of running the power through the wall cavity from the TV and popping it out at the bottom but didnt think this was allowed for DIYers?? Isnt this against some code or something about concealed 240V power leads? Same as people running extension leads in wall cavitys? I thought all this stuff was a big no no? If its OK I will be moving that PP somewhere else me thinks..
