Can I move a GFCI receptacle?
The GFCI receptacle with the reset button in my TT is buried behind the television in the cabinet. Is there any problem with swapping it with one of the more accessible GFCI receptacle?

AFAIK a GFCI receptacle works equally well in any location on the circuit i.e. it DOESN'T have to be first in the circuit.
The GFCI receptacle itself will work fine, but to protect other receptacles, they must be wired downstream of it.
The GFCI receptacle does not have to be wired first but it will only protect itself and receptacles downstream (i.e. on its load side).
