flatscreen TV install
I find out there is a recessed "clock hanger" recptacle I can use for the plug of the TV. I also found out there is low voltage face plate that lets
the A/V cable come out of the wall, using a low voltage open back box to mount the plate.
That's 2 holes and 2 face plates, does anyone know there are better options or fixtures to get the low voltage and line voltage to the TV?

Nah , that wouldn't be a good idea. It would delete the purpose of the separation.

Never said it wasn't "allowed", I just prefer to keep the 2 seperated. Personal preference that's all.
