My 2007 had the older analog TV instead of the flat screens they started installing in late 2006 (my 07 was born on 9/06) so not sure if these steps would apply if you have the flat screen.

1. Remove the firplace mantel/fascia by removing the the wooden plugs (2 on each side of the front). I used a small screw inserted into the plug and pulled them out.

2. Remove the fire place by unscrewing the mounting screws. The fireplace plugs into an outlet that is behind the unit.

3. There are 2 screws into the bottom of the TV case that you can access from the fireplace cabinet.

4. There are 2 more screws into the top of the TV that were broken on mine (TV fell out while traveling)so not sure how to access these.

5. TV weighs a TON be careful when lifting it out.

I installed a 32" Samsung TV in it's place using plywood and a wall mount bracket. I purchased the bracket and TV at Wal Mart.

Here is a link to my blog that has a couple of pictures of the installation.

I'm sure others will chime in soon and give you some more ideas.
