HDMI connection

Hi, I'm hoping to move house in the near futuere and as a rewire is
needed have decided to do a little forward planning.

Part of this planning involves locating my Sky+ box in a different
location to the TV, but in the same room,

My question is this - is it possible to get a faceplate mounted HDMI
connector or a HDMI dongle to enable me to sink the HDMI cable so it
doesn't have to trail between the TV and the Sky box? Similarly for
the optical audio cable?

Doing this would gain me millions of brownie points as my wife hates
the amount of cabling visible behind the TV set.

No end of HDMI wall plates on ebay - they typically act as a coupler to go
on the end of a standard HDMI cable.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HDMI-WALL-SOCK...item2555641aed
is one such item.

If you also want TOSLINK , then

might be good.

Thanks both - very helpful. Quite why I didn't try Google before
asking the question will forever remain a mystery!!

[1] Not to be confused with the hint, "GIYF".

Your Sky+ box does not have an HDMI connection, unless of course you
meant Sky+ HD.

I did indeed mean Sky HD
