More than code, consult your building inspectors.
Some building inspectors will NOT let you use a GFCI breaker. Some want you to have an accessible blank-face GFCI for the bathroom receptacles. Others want a distinct blank-face GFCI just for the tub.
It's a real pain in the ass with all the variations the building inspectors have on the rules.
Yea I just forgot to call the inspectors for my remodel.
House was built in 1950 and there has been a lot of shody work done on it. So I would not only have to keep everything I do in line (I do already, if not excede it) but have to fix stuff that has been there since 1979 (when the bathroom was built).
My wife asked to get a permit and I told her everything that would have to be replaced and fixed and all the fees. Then after that they raise your taxs. Permits at one point were about safety. Now they are about making sure the city/county get all their taxs IMO.
I don't remember that scene, but I will watch it again!

$20 says you'll do it a couple times and then that TV will eventually be replaced by a picture.

What sort of STB are you going to have supplying TV to this? Satellite? Cable? Where are you planning on putting that?
I would take your wallmount (or paper representation of it), place it where you want the TV mounted and see where there is sufficient wallspace not covered by said mount, and have outlets placed there. As said, sunken/clock receptacle is best, but as long as you can get away with flush mounted outlets if you use a power cable with a flat plug ">http://www.compusa.com/product...sp?product_code=176875</a> (provided your panel takes a standard AC cable and not some wacky connector). Coax is a different story back there as you get about 1/2" F connector coming out of the wall if they use a cheapo wall plate, then the cable running to your TV/receiver has its connector and coax is pretty inflexible. People always forget that.
All in all, I'm a big fan of grommeted opening wall plates with or without conduit back to your source for simplicity and upgradability. Although I don't know if that would be a good idea in a bathroom environment.

dunno yet...
I think comcast is the provider there and if so, then most likely cable. If not, then I would try OTA HD before satellite
In that case, remember you're probably going to need a STB (unless you have a TV that takes CableCard) to get anything more than network TV and maybe a handful of other stations. Keep that in mind when laying all this stuff out. You could always have the STB in a nearby closet and just run A/V cables (just HDMI would be easiest) from there to the TV and use an RF converter to get IR signals from your remote to the STB.
Also, I would definitely recommend using a tilt mount and tilting the panel all the way down if you're going to be sitting that far below it....in that case I would put the outlet(s) on the top half of the panel/mount to allow for the most wiggle room.

it sounds more and more to me that I need to put it behind the wall or in the wall and also take a look at this mirror thing.
I could also lower the tv so that I don't have to tilt it and it will basically sit at the same level as my head.
I would guess somewhere in CA or NY
I'd love one in the can; it's been a dream of mine.
However, I"d be afraid of moistur damage. It will probably run fine for years, but it's a risk factor I don't care for.

yeah that's what I would do too..
with a pane of glass over it, with caulk or whatever around it, and some other way to access the TV, maybe an adjacent room? or in the corner where the walls meet then access through attic?
Keep condensation out...
why not directly in front of the can instead... where you can sit and relax every single day! ooooh, and think about the potential for pr0n!
