    This is probably a very amateur question but here goes. Were mounting a TV above the fire place and I want to be 100% I've the correct wiring as it will be very difficult to access the wiring after the wall is refinished.

    If I buy an amp with HDMI like this
    http://www.richersounds.ie/asp/product.asp?ObjectID=&Mode=0&CategoryID=3&sub=24&productid=1014

    Can I just then have one HDMI lead going from the Amp to the TV and plug everything else into the amp? PS3, Sky box, WII ect. . ?

    Is their any other wiring I could have forgotten? Obviously Ive included power.

    Thanks in advance.

    Run a couple wires/ builders twine to pull through the wires you are going to forget/will need in future.

    Ask what you are going to do in the future, do you want a second HDMI for laptop, audio wires, etc

    Go onto amazon uk and pick up two or three HDMI 1.4a / High-Speed leads.
    This is the latest standard and will support, among other things, full 3D @1080p, Audio Return Channel and HDMI Ethernet Channel.

    Any no-name brand with 5-star reviews will do nicely. Amazon even sell their own cables now which get good reviews and are well priced.
