Flat screen TV over Gas Fire?

    Hi
    We're in the middle of an extension and had hoped to have a built in LCD TV unit over a built-in/hang-on-wall gas fire. However, we are getting conflicting info from the Fire guys and the TV/AV guys. The TV guys say it can be done, provided there is a deflector to move the most of the heat away from the TV. However, the Fire guys say that the heat would be too much for the TV irrespective, and it would significantly reduce the life span of the TV.
    We don't have a chimney breast, and were hoping to get away with at most a small flue, or maybe a small extractor out through the wall to take away the fumes from the fire.
    We've seen this TV over fire effect done in several places, supposedly without problems, but I am interested in other people's views/experiences on this. Any particular things I would need to watch out for if I go ahead with it.
    Also, any recommendations for suppliers of these gas fires. I've tried most of the guys around s.dublin without seeing one I like yet.
    ps. heat output isn't a big issue - its more the effect we like.

    If you're only after the effect consider the range of electric fires. Dimplex have a great range. A lot cheaper to run and fit than a gas fire.
