Cable tidy? Maybe build a little wooden box around the wires and run them along the cieling?

Dead easy, mate.  Did it for my Father in Law in his new conservatory.

Get a LCD TV bracket from Amazon, for about £20 deliverd, then get either the box trunking conduit or the under-plaster tunnel stuff from B&Q or somewhere.  Then chop a channel into your plasterwork (either ceiling to half way up the wall oor floor up to half way up the wall, depending on where you are running the cabling from).  Chop the channel wide enough to take 2 lots of trunking, as it it better to separate the power and signal cables.  Chop into the plaster to take a double power socket back box and a single aerial socket back box.  run the cables in the conduit, through the entry points into the back boxes and leave lots of spare cable coming through for termination later.  Skim plaster over the trunking and around the back boxes to make a nice neat finish.  Fit your double socket and aerial faceplates.  Fit the TV wall bracket just above the sockets, which means the sockets will be accessible at the back/bottom of the TV.

The whole thing will take you 3-4 hours.

That doesn't sound like it'd take me 3-4 hours. More like 8hrs to make a royal f**k up of it, and then a week before I can get someone in who knows what they're doing to sort it.

My motto is:

\"If a job's worth doing, it's worth getting someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you\"

PS TV's on walls is for call centres and train stations only, get yersen a nice \"unit\"!
