No idea what the story behind this is. It’s a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

    Very hard to match existing texture pattern if you’ve not done it before. If it’s something you’re going to look at every day, and it would annoy you to be able to see it, then I would definitely go for the double gang.

      Yes, it definitely takes some experience. If he goes that route then he should practice on a piece of cardboard first. He gave me some more details in another reply, and 2 gang definitely seems like the easiest solution, and it opens up some future options.
