Larry,

Well damn thats a brilliant idea! You certainly know
your stuff :)

Say I make a hole that is 1/2" is there any sort of
plugs available to dress the hole? Sort of like a ABS
plastic grommit? This house is relatively new so the
only horizontal beams would be the headder and footer's
I thought about running the wire inside the wall behind
the Receiver and then across the attic and back down
the other wall. But dad tells me that I may not be able
to do that since the wall the TV is against is one of
the external walls and the roof end truss is probably
against that headder. So in all likelyhood I will run
the wire along the baseboard under the carpet and then
go inside the wall and up and out where the sat's will
sit on thier brackets.
