Anyone used the Tilevision TV's ?

I'm currently renovating (i.e. installing after ripping it all out 3
years =
ago!)
our family bathroom. One of the things I'm wanting to include is a TV in
th=
e wall
near the bath.

Still got to make a final decision of position.. either end of bath (1),
ni=
ce for in
the bath but not visible in the rest of the room (and tricky to do since
it=
s a solid
brick wall, or along back wall (2) which would be easier and viewable from

anywhere=20
in room, although in the bath would actually be the worst because you be
lo=
oking at
it from a 50-60 degree angle side on..

(view using a fixed pitch font i.e. courier)

I was seriously tempted to put a normal TFT monitor in the wall with a=20
toughened glass panel sealing it... but after much soul searching I think
I'll bite the bullet and pay for one of the ready made units like
TileVisio=
n.
Mainly because of the Safety aspect and the fact the kit has all the parts

etc
whereas if I do it then it'll never actually get finished!

Has anyone tried the TileVision 17" model that LetsAutomate sell for
=A3129=

What is the quality of the picture like.. after my experience with the DELL
WS2600 LCD TV I'm nervous about buying another LCD TV without seeing it

My main issue (apart from price!) is that of control. In this day and age
t=

built in analogue tuner is pretty much redundant as I'd want to feed it via
a freeview box and MediaServer. The remote that comes with it only has
butt=

for TV (analogue) AV switch and teletext.. how am I going to be able to
con=

TiVo/XBOX (xbmc)/FreeView from the bath ? I suppose what I need is a

silicon ?
