Baseboards that will fit 2 coax cables behind?

I've just moved into a new home (well new to me) and I don't really have anyway of hiding the coax cables for my DirecTV.  There are 2 coax cables (one for signal and one for DVR) so I wanted to find a baseboard that I could replace the existing boards with that would accomodate the coax cables being hidden in channels built into the baseboard.

Anyone have any ideas on where to look for this type of thing?  Having a 3rd or 4th channel in the baseboard for speaker and sub wiring would be icing on the cake, but I can hide those wires other ways.

Thanks!

That is something I would just wander through Lowes, Home Depot or another big box home improvement store and see what they have.  You might need to custom make some.  3/4" or 1" MDF with a nice, routed edge will give you enough room.  Just route a channel out of the back side for all of your wiring.

As for the DirecTV wiring, what do you mean by "2 coax cables (one for signal and one for DVR)"?

What are your wall made of? Most are drywall if its a newer home. If thats the case remove your base and cut your channel in the wall not the base then re attach your base.If its an older home with plaster then there should be a wood base that is flush with the plaster finish that your baseboard is attached to and if that is the case get a router and simply route a groove in that material the re attach your base
