    Unfortunately, everyone has different needs in television and sound systems. Some owners use the roof antenna, some use cable television, some use satellite systems, and some use smart blue ray players to catch WiFi signals in RV parks. It's difficult for a manufacturer to be everything to every user.

    I have a daughter that's an electronic geek. She can program and setup the most complicated electronic device in a few minutes. Thankfully I don't even have to think about such things.

    Grand design could make it a lot easier to run wires if they included empty conduit.

    If they installed HDMI cables from the factory, they would basically "future-proof" the units for the reasonable future. Cable TV, satellite boxes, smart dvd/blue-ray players, Apple TV, Roku, and just about everything else on the market support HDMI connections. A set of them - one each from the main entertainment center to each location where a TV is or can be installed - would cover pretty much everything. Using an HDMI switchbox/disti amp would let you route any source to any combination of destinations.

    Running a conduit would be nice, but how big of a conduit? If you don't run one large enough, then some cables with ends (HDMI for example) might not fit. I'd love to have Cat 6e to each location too. But realistically, with HDMI, everything would be covered until fiber to the appliance becomes commonplace.

    Well said. The conduit is a great idea, but as you mentioned, size is a factor unless you do HDMI over CAT.
