I want to install a new TV on the wall in our bedroom and Im running 2.5T&E across the attic space and then running the cable behind the plasterboard so nothing but the TV is visable, my question is do I need to conduit the cable going across the attic or simply tack it to the joists or simply just leave it ontop of the insulation?. The total length of the run of cable across the attic would be about 15ft.
