Since I was building a house and the tub area was layed out perfectly I decided to run wires for a tub tv! I use drtv and was also uping to HD so it was time for the first lcd tv as well. I have the reciever in the closet that falls behind the tv.

Looking into the top of the closet that the tv reciever is in. You cant see it unless you look up and into the closet. I still need to finish the wires. I need a longer HDMI cable so I can finish....but who see's that anyway lol.



I used what I think is called a power bridge to run power to the TV through the wall. You can kinda see the top of it on the back right of this shot. It prety much is a plug behind the tv that uses romex (in the wall so its up to code) to go to the next plug thats behind the reciever. Then the kit comes with a extention cord that goes into the plug thats behind the reciever to a normial house plug or a surge protector power strip.



I had the builder drop power and phone in the top of this closet. I also droped 3 runs of rg6 qs in there for the tv feed. I still need a wall plate for the coax and HDMI once I get a longer one...then I can finish the wires.



The is behind the tv looking from the top. I have the HDMI just going through a hole in the wall untill I get my plates.



On to the money shots...a little sports center while I get ready in the morning

The tub is 6' so you sit roughly 7-8' away from the tv....the tv is a samsung 32". The closet with the reciever is directly behind the TV...the wires run in a empty channel between studs and to the top of the closet behind it.

All you need now are a couple of W22! I would NOT put a A1400 this close to water, though!

Looks really nice!

I was a liitle worried about the tv over water...but I think that wall mount is not going anywhere...and the cord is tied up short so it should unplug if it falls....and if all else fails I have to ride it out untill the GFI kicks in lol. Livin on the edge...

Some axioms in there would be fun....shakers on the tub...but thats not going to hapen lol. With the jets on its pretty loud...we just turn the tv up and it works fine.

you really should have a safety outlet there that will trip if it gets a surge...I think its code as well. Y'know the kind that has a reset button on it if you blow it.

That's classic. You'll need a lot of skin cream so that they don't call you prune :-).

Now that you have no logical reason to get out of the tub, you're going to end up looking like a raisin.



You did a very nice job! \:\)
