TV Mount -- Where to put cable box/Blue Ray

I have my tv on the wall. The previous owner did have cable box and stuff in the closet as you alluded to. You use an infrared remote...there's like a sensor placed on the tv or something like that. It was professionally done. But I didn't really want to do that cause I rather have my stuff where I can get to it. So I have a piece of furniture beneath my tv..like a nice wood cabinet and I have cable box, receiver, DVD etc in that. The cables from tv go into the wall behind the tv and run behind the wall and come out behind the cabinet. So the wires are hidden. That's how mine is. Guess it depends what your room / furniture setup is around your tv.

Anyone want to snap some picks of their setup?

I put a wall mount data cabinet in my laundry room and put all my equipment in there.
Use an IR extender or if your TV supports it like mine, it will do that for you and all inhad to do was put IR blasters in the cabinet.

If you go the route of the IR extender, how do you connect the box in the closet to the actual tv. Doesn't the IR extender only extend the IR signal to the cable box? You still have to connect the cable box to the actual tv, right?

With HDMI cables..... The running of which will depend on your room(s) layout and proximity to closets, cabinets, furniture etc as well as how many components you are installing.

If you have attic access above, it shouldnt be too hard.

Many ways to skin a cat here. It all depends on your actual layout

i would love to see pictures of that
