Re: Cable feeds to TV? - Hanging on a wall...



Kind of staying on the cavity wall/ tv theme... (but maybe a little
side
step) -  is that cavity wall the simple 'plasterboard on wooden frame'
type? - If so - how big a tv could be hung directly on the wall without
taking it (the wall) apart and re-enforcing it?

Or is this a simple - stick it on a stand solution :)


And back on things a little - I would still think that Coax (ct100
type?) would still be needed if you were looking at the newer tv's with
freesat adaptors built in? - oh - dont forget the cat5 (xbox, wii, ps3,
mac mini :)!


Cheers
Wayne.
