in wall speakers into a solid wall in the UK?

Question

Hi all, wondered if you can fit the new inwall speakers into a solid cavity wall (I'm in the UK). We've just built an extension and the wall where the TV will go on would be perfect for it. It's currently without plasterboard so would like to sort it before we start on with that. Thanks Alan

Output via HDMI

Question

Does anyone know the hardware have the ability to output video over the hdmi ARC? If it does, a software update that could output a screen saver would be a very welcome one. I'm thinking what winamp (dating myself) used to do with musical fractals and or equalizer lines.
