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

["Tracey Gardner" <tracey.gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Wayne

The cavity wall is comprised of two 100mm block walls spaced about 75mm
apart so I don't see any problem in hanging a TV on it.
I have mocked up a 50" screen on the wall and asked SWMBO what she
thought
of it, without saying what size it was.
She said, "that looks a little small"
Oh why are 65" plasmas so expensive :-)
