        When I hung my TV here, I ran one long cable to a tuner on a built-in shelf in the other of the room. It’s a lot easier to get to the back of that and, as a bonus, it has more ports (and a better speaker setup in case I decide to go that way).

        That said, even if only using the TV’s ports, there’s no reason you can’t plug in the cables on the TV side, then however you prefer, secure the unplugged ends for use with future devices.

            People have been unusually kind to me recently, so I no longer have an exact count, but this is one of the top, I don’t know, twenty kindest things someone has said to me, especially recently.

            So thanks and, out of gratitude, I’ll try.

                I know you were being sarcastic, but you were still teasing me about something about myself of which I’m proud, and that made it kind, if unintentionally so. So thank you.

      Or even better, get a mount that lets you pull the TV away from the wall and turn it because you might want to plug something in after mounting it.
