[QUOTE="wht93gted, post: 14652144, member: 137363"] Power is easy, the a\v wiring is the complicated part. you don't have to punch any holes if you do it right. Pull power from one of the outlets next to the fireplace. Kill the power, use a hacksaw blade by itself and you should be able to cut the mounting screws holding the box to the stud. Then slide the box out. This gives you easy access to feed new wire up. Then, where you want to put the TV box, use a large one which has power and all your low voltage wires, like this: [url]http://www.galesburgelectric.com/images/D/Carlon-SC300PRB.jpg[/url] After you cut that in, you'll have a large opening in the drywall to maneuver your drill bit. You'll need a long one, depends how far you need to move, maybe 5-6'. The long ones are flexible, I'm not saying this one exactly, but something like it [url]http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-Flexible-Drill-Bit-Kit-3-Piece-53721/203913339[/url] Then all you have to do is drill across until you're above the box. Then you can use string and something to push a string across. You can do this same thing for HDMI, just make sure you drill another set of holes and you buy a proper in-wall HDMI cable. [/QUOTE]
