How should I run wiring for my above-fireplace mounted TV?

I have a flat screen TV on a wall mount that I'd like to move to the brick above the fireplace (which is only lit maybe 4 times a year).

Two questions: Since the brick never gets warm at all, can heat exiting the fireplace itself & rising into the room damage the electronics even if there is a mantle below it deflecting the heat?

Also, how could I run all of the wiring & cables to be hidden similarly to how I have them run inside the wall now?

  • I know that mounting a TV over a fireplace looks cool, but are you sure that's going to be a comfortable position for watching? You're going to have a lot of neck strain from looking up. I like to have the center of my TVs about at eye level when seated, or maybe slightly higher. – Hank Oct 06 '12 at 15:37
