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.

    Converting to a double gang would be pretty tough with that stud there Edit: I didn’t realize that was just a backer board for filling it in. It would probably be easier than matching the texture, but only if you can put one in without damaging the existing drywall

      Yup it’s just a backer board there. Easy enough to remove to switch to a double gang, but also easy ish to clean up and patch it, if I don’t texture
