In the wall, that's what we did. We're in the town of Islip. I did not ask permission, we just did it...I don't think you need permission for TV wires?

In the wall is usually not up to code, but that's what we did.

I just searched on here and saw that it is not "legal" to do so with your insurance company and in case there is a fire, you will not be covered.
Thanks :)

Re: Flat Screen TV on Walls-Wires?
You need to buy cables that are rated to be in your wall (HDMI or any video connection wires). The power cord cannot be run in the wall, an outlet must be placed behind the TV.
If you are worried, get a licensed electrician to do it. Otherwise no one would have insurance (sports bars, office buldings, almost every home in the tri-state area).
ETA: you can always buy paintable wire molding to hide the wires coming down the wall.
