TV in front of radiator

    I currently have a 32" Philips TV ( non plasma/lcd). After much experimenting and shuffling of furniture, the perfect place to set up the TV/TV stand in the living area would be in front of a heating radiator.

    I have saftey concerns about placing a TV in front of a radiator and would like your opinion - is it safe?

    Next year will be buying plasma, again would it be safe in front of radiator?

    I'd say it may shorten the lifespan of your TV.

    I'd definitely say it's not a good place for a plasma, plasmas tend to run quite warm enough as is (my Panasonic even has 4 fans to expel heat), and adding in more heat wouldn't be a good idea.
