Where to Hide Cable Box?

8 years ago

Hello,

I have a 55in curved TV on my wall and I am having trouble hiding the cable box. Behind the TV is a stone wall.

The cable box is too bulky to fit in between the TV and the wall.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Move the TV off of the fireplace and put it on a low console. Solves your cable box issues, the wire issue, and the neck pain issue you will inevitably develop from look up too high.

Doesn't the cable box have to be visible to be controlled by its remote? Why not just put it on the mantle?

The cable box does not need to be visible. We want everything to be hidden.

Beautiful stone fireplace! Does the tv have to go there? Art would look so much prettier. Do you have room for a console?

An option might be to get one of the small boxes. Our main box is smaller than yours but our other boxes are about a 5in x 5in square.
