So you can isolate it at night easily, (my mate is a fireman !!)

Just pull the main fuse for the whole house............

I normally chase in 100 X 50 plastic trunking from low level to behind the tv. Use a couple of 47mm(or 35mm) deep flush twin boxes fixed

Used to use 50mm trunking when Scart leads were the norm but usually find 40mm is plenty now and 25mm is usually enough but second the ribbon type HDMI's

Are you saying fit the FCU simply to give an accessible switch (isolation point) then? If so I could simply extend the power cable to the TV straight to a low level FCU, no need for plug+socket at all.

I just want to add to those kind enough to have replied, that whilst I'm slightly taking advantage by talking about AV stuff on these forums... I do fully expect that very soon a lot of sparks will be getting asked to run AV/network/signal on a regular basis. Such connections become increasingly vital for people, and many don't have the basic skills required to do the work themselves.

I'm a regular

But of course, those guys are not used to worrying about regulation so much...

They can tell you about sonic reflection etc, but they can't offer much in terms of regulation
