Hidding cabeling becoming a problem for wall mounted LCD - help need

[admin_exported]

I am stumped and need your help on who to finish of wall moutning a TV

I ve channed out in my brick wall and fixed and covered all the cabels needed leading from the middle of the fire place which then run around the corner and down the right side of the chimney *** where they emerge from about a foot above from the floor.

My problem is how do i get a neat finish where the cabels come out from the plaster (once applied ) which will feed into my DVD recorder. I have tried cutting a piece of plasterboard to slot over them to guide them but this is not proving sucessfull and once plaster over will not give me a asthetical finish either (i'm not fussy much!)

Is there a compenment out there to support and enclose where the cables emerge from this type of mounting or am i looking for the something that doesn't exist?

I can't afford to get the professionals in sadly and am trying to do this on my own so any suggestions will galdy be received - thanks.

If all of your cables are already terminated and to the correct length, then a simpler (but much less impressive) solution would be to use a standard electrical back box screwed to the brickwork, and then cut an appropriate size and shape hole in a blank cover plate, something like this, http://www.screwfix.co.uk/prods/40660/Electrical/Switches-Sockets/White-Moulded/Crabtree-Range/Crabtree-1G-Blank-Plate making sure that any edges are nice and smooth, obviously.

No where near as impressive as a dedicated set of sockets, but possibly more flexible and certainly cheaper.
