re: fishing cables through walls (hdmi)

Assuming the studs in the wall are standard 16" on center, that will be a problem.

Yup. Another problem is that terminating an HDMI cable is not a DIY job so you'd have to fish a pre-terminated cable.

You can use double CAT6 cabling with an HDMI adapter at each end to simplify in-the-wall wiring. CAT6 cable is much easier to work with (and a lot cheaper). If there is attic space above the wall just fish it up and over from the attic and put a double ethernet jack at each end.

If the space above is living area, either use surface-mount raceways or remove a 2-inch wide strip of sheet rock across the wall. Notch the studs slightly to accommodate the wires and then fit a new piece of drywall in place (being careful not to nick the wires when you nail it).

Just my two cents.
