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.

Wow, just wow.
Someone couldn't even cut a straight opening, left it all messed up.
Hard to tell, but if you cut it square, would a double-gang fill it? If it would, then that does seem the easiest option (or just a low-voltage double gang size, as somone else mentioned).
Stuff like this is part of why I really dislike texture. It doesn't hide imperfections (as some people claim) even when new - I can still see poor drywall work through it. I'm not really sure what purpose texture is supposed to serve. This knock-down type just traps dust and dirt in it.
Yup, it's impressive how bad it is. It's almost more work to be this bad lol. Its even worse if you notice that they didn't cover up the coax ports to paint, so it's entirely clogged up. If I wanted to use them, I would need to cut and re-terminate it.
