Yeah randy, i was thinking about that. If i put the tv almost sitting on the mantle, with an angle bracket, that i can tilt a little...may work. The seating position would be a good 10 feet back...heck it could be more if i wanted it. But even with a 50" plasma you don't want to be too far away. 10 feet is probably max.

The problem with this house is there is really only 1 wall you can use. The fireplace wall. The side walls....are just not there, they open to eating area's and such, so your stuck with this 1 wall.
