Im doing the same in a few months... Im going to be chiselling out a bit of the wall then re plastering... Ok very perm.. But looks the best IMHO.

very easy to do, find a bracket from ebay - cheap, and find the wooden pillars in the wall, and screw into them lol, if needed add cross sections of wood
and i recomend getting a AV reciever so the only cable you need is an HDMI and sticking it thru the wall ( use a snake )

Let me know hoe you get on Scott cause i really fancy doing this, might speak to Dochie to see what he suggest's. Do these brackets swivel on the wall or are they fixed square?

i have a cupboard under my stairs where all my cables go to surround sound, ps3, sky and the wii, i got my bracket for the 50" plasma from maplin cost 40 quid, bored a hole big enough for the cables with an sds drill as i have all brick walls
the results ;

i fitted my mates to his partition wall which was much easier as we could cut a hole in the wall and feed cables anywhere :)

also have a wee ir sender with sensors that pick up my abbundance of remotes and sends the signal to each bit of equipment so no wires at all

my mate had a stone wall, i mounted his tv on it and chisseled a channel out of it, then installed the wires and plasteresd over the top of them.....made it look good tho :) - far better than running trunking or anything :)

that looks sweet Stew, something like that would suit me perfect! Time to get bracket's and trunking i think :)

Nnnnoooooooooo not trunking
Steven

Dont worry, the trunking will all be hidden as they will be sunk into the wall, just for easy of removing cable's etc if i need too:)
