    Hi,
    I'm moving sockets and a tv point so out of sight behind a wall mounted tv. I've cut a chase in a block wall to do this. Can I just fill in over the coax cable or do I need to run a conduit first in case I ever need to replace to cable?

    I would stick a plastic conduit in m8 just in case you need to change the cable at any time,would also suggest running a spare coax cable and an cat5 cable if you have the space,future proof it a bit ;)

    Thanks for the reply, great idea on the spare coax. What would the cat 5 be used for?

    Great tip, Cat5/6 can be used for potentially everything.

    Google HdBaseT for a bit of light reading :)
