So ..... new fire on order , be here tomorrow. So plans a foot to start install. This weekend, question n the Dolby atmos sound bar. I’m thinking that this really should not be sunk into the wall but mounted on the surface ? So I also think the TV will have to be the same .

Just bought a new Sony TV & disappointed with the sound, I think it's possibly our hearing, anyway Amazon have the Roku at £129 delivery tomorrow, do I also need an optical cable or will a HDMI suffice?

How about setting the TV & stuff back inside the opening?
Just seen this, neat idea. I’m not going to go to all that bother. We will be buying a side unit to keep cable modem , Xbox and etc in . Also TV is going to be surface mount as at some point I’m sure I’ll buy something bigger !!
It must have been an eternity ago but I remember seeing a couple of photos of a big Sony Trinitron TV mounted flush in a wall. The second photo showed the room behind the wall with a load of brick rubble and the body of the tv protruding
Almost certainly a spoof but very funny at the time.

My sister bought a property as a buy-to-let. The lounge had a massive fake chimney breast with a little electric wall heater mounted to it. I (correctly) surmised that there had once been a gas fire. We both thought it looked naff and was a complete waste of space so I asked her if she would like me to destroy it! 10 minutes later...
You can see a vent where air came in for the old gas fire. There was also a disconnected metal flue pipe just out of sight at the top.
It was a gas fire originally in ours as well ! Previous owner had it capped off and and had an electric fire fitted.My sister bought a property as a buy-to-let.
