This pic was taken in a Hyatt Place. Their tv's sit on kind of a partial wall of a console(seen here: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YCEeKe3Ni5...+Phoenix+6.JPG), and that input gizmo is on the side of that.

I'd love to be able to hang our flat screen on the wall, and run cables to a box like that elsewhere in the room.

What's the thing called, and where can I buy one???

I'm betting it's only sold to institutions like hotels, but that's just a guess. Maybe you could call Hyatt and ask what it's called.

Just an idea but what if you take the picture to Radio Shack and see if one of those guys knows what it is or something comparable?

Thanks - I may just do that!

It seems like something that just might be a hot seller in a place like Best Buy.... but I don't even know what to call it to know what to search for.

I'd love to have the DVD player and game systems parked someplace entirely different than in a cabinet underneath where we'd like to mount the tv. If I'm going to need to put a cabinet along the wall, I might as well just sit the tv on it!

Good idea!

Not to my local RS. Bless their hearts. But maybe one in another town!

You should be able to find something similiar here.

But I did Google a search for External TV hookups and then External TV Connections or box.

A picture of a smaller box popped up.
Eminent hdMEDIA RT EM7080 Peripheral review - Trusted Reviews

so maybe you could tweak the search with some of those terms and find what you're looking for??????

Sorry not to be able to help there.

Here is more detailed information about the item:

Still looking to see if you can "buy" it anywhere but not finding anything so far......

How about this? I have no idea if the site is reputable:
FSR IPS Wall Plates, Rack Mount and Under Table Mounts

Thanks, all, for the suggestions! Some of those were CLOSE! I'm hoping - once I have some time - to follow those rabbit trails and hopefully come up with exactly the right thing! :-)
