[mythtvnz] RG6 cable and mains power cable fed through same junction box - interference likely?

[Matt Poff]

Cheers,

Yeah I checked with PDL and they recommended separation of 300mm so I 
think I'll have to get the Gib saw out. In that case I might install a 
five socket comms gang plate with a splitter for TV/FM, an RG6 and then 
two audio connectors for future satellite speakers in a home theatre set up.

What's the best common wall connector to carry +/- audio signal using 
just one connection per lead? I don't really want to add four RCAs to a 
gang plate when I can get away with two of something else.
