Can anyone point me in the direction of a receptacle/ code compliant cover for a wall mount tv installed on an outdoor porch.

Porch ceiling is covered, but open to weather from the front.

TV will be wall mounted with little or no space between it and vinyl siding.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
 
justme123, nice link!

nizak, you could also use something like this:

http://www.homedepot.com/p/CE-TECH-In-Wall-Power-Cord-and-Cable-Kit-A32-KW/204412643

which has a raceway for coax, hdmi, rca, etc. cables. I installed one of them last week. Solves the problem of the comm cable wire mgmt. It takes longer than 15 minutes to install, especially trying to fish the raceway and simplex receptacle thru an insulated wall, as well as making sure it doesnt wind up behind any of the wall mount TV bracket crossmembers. Mine was installed inside; not sure if this particular product could be used outside.

This would also work for that:

The outlet could go above the TV in the soffit, where a bubble cover, if required, would not be a problem. Wiremold would dress up any cords.
