Foil duct tape. Once tv is up slap a piece of that on any wire that may fall attaching it to the back of tv. Done forever.

I prefer Gaffers tape.

I've probably gone through a thousand rolls over the last 25 years and doubt I could live without it!

These days i have 2 cables (power & hdmi)...3 max (control if CEC not available).

I thought you were a Crestron shop. Hiw does programming work when using CEC?
If it's not simple, it's not sufficiently advanced.

Not really.
It just sets there and holds your wires.

When you need to remove it,just pull it off!

It's not like duct tape.

Really well when they work and not well when they don't :). Typically the programmer makes it so that i have CEC and IR control of a display. If CEC doesn't work i put an emitter on the TV.

This is a great idea.

Which piece? The tail? Doesn't sound humane.
