Hide the cabling inside a plastic tube. A number of companies offer inexpensive plastic enclosures for cabling. Styles in include tubes, channels that attach to the wall and units that resemble baseboards.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Furniture<\/strong>. Replace your entertainment cabinet or stand with a unit that features an internal cable management system where the wiring can be routed inside the hollow legs of the stand, for example.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Equipment closet<\/strong>. The more equipment you keep with your TV, the more cabling there is. You can cut down on the cabling in your living room by locating the Blu-ray player, A\/V receiver, cable box and other components in closet.<\/p>\n<p>by Lisa Montgomery<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.electronichouse.com\/article\/zvox_wants_to_see_your_tv_wire_mess\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.electronichouse.com\/article\/zvox_wants_to_see_your_tv_wire_mess\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cis-nc.com\/\">Custom Installation Services, LLC <\/a>&#8211;\u00a0Charlotte and Asheville NC\u2019s Source For\u00a0Your Custom Home Electronics and\u00a0Structured Wiring\u00a0Needs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The company is holding a contest asking &#8216;How ugly is the back of your TV&#8217; and has a soundbar ready to give the winner.
