Wall Mount TV
Recently bought a bit bigger TV and plan to mount on the wall between my 2 kitchen windows. Will need to rout the cable from the cabinet on the far right and will hide the cable and power cable in the wall. There is already a power outlet on the wall where the TV will go and there is an existing outlet in the cabinet on the right.
Took the shelf down and was going to tape off where I want the TV mounted. It is is an exterior wall and it feel warm there. Does that mean I have hot water pipes or my gas heating in that wall? Will that prevent me from mounting the tv there or putting the cable and power wires in that wall? I would think that the cable will be routed close to the counter (getting backsplash replaced) after mounting TV. It's an old house and the walls are plaster. As you can tell I don't really have much knowledge about these things!
Second question : do you think I can keep the cable box in the cabinet off to the right? It's a deep cabinet - going to take the door off use it as a book shelf.
The wall between the windows is really the only place to mount a TV on the wall. Didn't think it would be too much of an issue but now concerned it might be.

Comments (19)I rarely turn our TV(s) on and don't like to see them when not in use. Great room television is hidden behind custom sliding panels ( two go left, one right). DVD player, TV equipment, etc is in niche with shutter door. MBR TV is in an antique armoire that was in LR of our last home. It also holds sweaters and extra bedding. Main level guest room. Lower level guest room. We do have a large flat screen that is not enclosed in the lower level den. I don't have a photograph to share but it's on a pine chest.

Comments (4)Most real estate contracts require you to leave anything that is permanently attached to the walls, such as those TV brackets, so the sellers did the right thing. Next time you buy, you could request as part of the contract, that the sellers remove any TV brackets and patch/paint the drywall. Why can't you remove the brackets and patch the walls?...See MoreWhere is the cable box and DVR for wall mounted TVs
Comments (3)Many use remote installed equipment connected with HDMI cables. As mentioned above, you can also mount the equipment to the back of the TV. It is also possible to create a niche behind the TV, depending on the condition of the wall. Once you've solved the location of the equipment, you will likely need a good remote with ir and rf functions.
