Hi all
Once SKY is fitted next week I want to really try and tidy up my cabling around the TV. I am trying to figure out what I need and what can be done to make it really less obvious.
Sadly it is rented accomodation so I cannot do anything that will damage the walls/skirting etc.
As you can see from the picture the VM Superhub 2 comes in in the right hand corner and has a fair amount of length on the cable which is currently rolled up. I have sources of power on both sides of the tv stand but with the VM connection on the right I want to only use that side. SKY connection (that already exists, it just needs rewiring etc) is on the right but above the cupboard doors so the cables will trail down to the box under the TV at a guess. My PC will be in middle and my PS3 will move to left and SKY box to right so it's kind of uniform.
Trying to think where all the cables are going to be and what I need to hide them all.

From the TV downwards I'd use either cable ties or spiral wrap - this will create a single route for cables. Then you could use a bit of conduit to route the cables across to the right - you don't have to permanently stick it to the skirting, just a bit of blutack or something.
