This was a Great Video! I am so Thankful for your timing...I have to tackle this project soon and appreciate the step by step instructions and recommendation on actual parts.
Great video - easy to understand. This unit is a breeze to install. However, the supplied power cord from the a/c outlet to the wall mount is six feet long. That is way overkill, since the distance from the unit's wall outlet to my A/C outlet is only about one foot. I purchased a two foot extension cord from Amazon which makes a lot neater connection than the long cord supplied with the kit!
do you have any recommendations on having a Roku attached to the back of the TV that also needs a power source? Would a short power cord extension and splitter running from the echogear work? So both the Roku and TV can connect to a power source and the wires would still be hidden.
I could see the splitter working. I'm not familiar with the Roku but I know some devices like that can be powered from a USB port too. If that's the case, you could probably plug it into a USB port on the back of your TV.
On the bottom pass through hole, is the cable length you use long enough to connect to the devises in your TV cabinet or you use extensions? I saw many videos use cables that are way too short
Yes, I actually used 15' cables. I probably could have gotten away with 12' but I wanted to be sure I had plenty of wire to extend the mount and connect the devices in the console.
Always a good idea to be on the safe side. Be sure to be as careful as you can and don't cut right next to where the stud is. If you have any unexpected resistance, don't force it.
I get anxiety thinking about drilling holes that large in the drywall. If something happened and you ever wanted to fix that hole, that's more than a spackle job. I'm on the fence
No particular reason, it wasn't very interesting since it's just the cables running into a cabinet. Its a little messy too with all the power cords for the different devices (DVD player, Switch, etc.)
I found this video on what you can do in that case. It's old so the quality isn't great but it does a pretty good job of explaining it. ruclips.net/video/NwXAWsp9wps/видео.html

Awesome video!! I have the same TV bracket mount so this video was super helpful.
Glad it helped!
Thanks! fits awesome with my Sonos Arc soundbar
Very informative video, thanks!
Good stuff. I enjoyed this video!
Awesome, thank you!
Great video, thanks! 👍
No problem 👍
I love the sense of relief when you both realised you didn’t cut through the Ethernet cable! 😂
Haha, yeah that saved me some extra work for sure!

Ahh good point. I've haven't looked at the USB option yet but will take a look. Thank you and your video helped a lot. @@TopHomeowner

Does is come with that power cord?
Blessings, Great video. Should the electrical be turned off while cutting through the wall?
Always a good idea to be on the safe side. Be sure to be as careful as you can and don't cut right next to where the stud is. If you have any unexpected resistance, don't force it.
If there is some insulation in the wall is it okay for the cable in the wall to touch it?
Yes, cables touching insulation in walls is normal.
May I ask what size saw is that
would that wiring be legal in an area that requires conduit for electrical.?
That's a great question since it is a power line inside the wall. You'd have to check with either a local electrician or inspector to be sure.
Great review, step by step guidance, and especially, not Cutting through the Ethernet cord that was behind the wall, very smart, lol, lol...

I totally get it! They also make on-wall raceways that will help hide the wire, and you don't have to actually cut into the wall
Its not too difficult to cover up a whole that size.
why didnt you show the cables on the bottom
No particular reason, it wasn't very interesting since it's just the cables running into a cabinet. Its a little messy too with all the power cords for the different devices (DVD player, Switch, etc.)
What about the fire block?
