Generally it is routed down and under your can light. If you do not have a can light you can tuck it in your waist band. I find this does not work quit as well for me as it tends to slip out. About halfway though our last dive trip I flooded my can light so it got left off from then on out. So I spent 10 dives without my light.

If you don't have a light you can also tuck it under a hip/waist mounted knife, shears, or something.

As you asked, here is a video from DiveRite
Technical Diving: Single Tank Regulator for Technical Diving - YouTube
Also, if you do find that there is still a little too much hose sticking out even if you routed the hoses like the video, you can secure some of the hoses by tucking it under some tire inner tube on your tank.

When I'm not diving with my can light, I tuck it under my reel, which I keep clipped to my right hip D-ring. You can also get one of these for $15 from DSS, or make one of your own....

Pick up one of these for $8.77 ( Maglite Xenon Black Mini Flashlight with Holster-M2A01H at The Home Depot ) for the sheath and stick a $1.00 steak knife in there. Place that on the left side of the waist belt buckle and route your hose under that. All for under $10.00 and the added safety of a cutting device 
Oh, and a light for the junk drawer...

A lot depends on whether you are using a standard BCD, or a backplate and harness. You have gotten a lot of answers on how to route the 7' hose with a harness. If you are using a standard BCD with big integrated weight pockets and no straps at the waist to speak of, what you will have to do is route the hose under your arm, up across your chest to the left side of your neck, behind your check and around into your mouth from the right. This will leave you with a great deal of slack hose in front of you. Double this up into a loop and stuff it through your waist belt or cummerbund wherever you can. Keep the waist belt tight, or the hose will constantly be escaping.

a picture is worth a thousand words. I too have the Hog setup. no that picture is not me. I tuck the hose under my trilobite cutter on my harness belt.
