I think this is a great solution for people looking to wall mount a flat panel TV. It could also be used to add a power outlet to an alcove that lacks an existing outlet without needing to hire an electrician. I ordered the 18' kit for myself.

Meant to look nice I guess.

Since the power outlets are recessed, it lets you mount the tv as close as possible to the wall.

I'm a little low D so I would just cut a hole in the dry wall and run an extension cord through... $50 for beer! 😀

enjoy your insurance claim being denied when your house burns down for running an extension cord through the walls....

Some romex conduit systems are approved but need to be installed by an electrician to qualify negating their usefulness. Check your local laws...

It's a novel solution but u can easily run everything in the wall and plug the TV into a surge protector as most TV power cables are 6 ' if not longer. I have 4 plasmas at home that I have done this, not to mention several other friends that I helped mount their TVs.
Having an extension in wall is not a good thing as mb says. If ur house happen to burn down by any means and ur insurance finds that extension cable, they will not cover the damages at all.

Surely this only applies to high voltage wiring and not small things like USB/Coax/speaker wiring/audio/video cabling?

Well, I'm no expert but there are speaker/ethernet/av cables rated for in wall installation. And from what I understand, the NEC requires all cables going in a wall to be rated for in wall installation. It should have printed on there CM, CMR, CL2, CL3, CL2R, CL3R (one of these). Your locality may be more or less strict. You'd have to call your local fire department or city department of building safety to be sure.
