Hi Lee,
Speaking for myself, I would say I am a "newbie" as far as Web TV is 
concerned, so I can only reply in general terms.

I believe that CSS support in Web TV is quite limited, so using tables 
for layout would seem the safer alternative. As far as separating out 
the presentation from the content is concerned, you could try putting 
the images as background in the CSS. But some browsers have problems 
with background images in table cells, so do experiment with this idea 
before committing to that technique.

Do let us know how you get along. Not having a TV means that Web TV is 
completely off my radar. It would be good to hear of your experience.

Cordially,
David
