I live in an APT now and was planning to add some wiring for Dish Netrwork. I can fish the walls (or have an installer do it) and get the wiring to the location I need it, however- once it's there- what now?
In my old dedicated HT room I had nice clean media outlets I wired to run speaker lines and whatnot to terminations. I got the plates and connectors from parts express-- but ithey basically mounted inside a blue plastic electical box like those used for electrical outlets or switches.
I don't really want to rip out enough drywall to mount a box like that and then have to patch the hole: so is there any other solution to maybe add a small exterior box that could sit on the wall? Or a media faceplate which can attach to the wall without a big box behind it inside the wall?
Any tips?
