Distance from radiator

Hi Guys, Quick question,moving to a new apartment. The tv point is in the corner of the room so obviously thats where I'd like to fit my 50inch plasma,however there is a radiator quite close to it and would probably be behind the tv if I was to put it directly into the corner. Is this a big no no?

Basic answer is YES, this may well cause a problem.
How close is the rad? Is there gonna be decent air circulation? You could look into placing a fan in the vicinity if you have no choice but to land the telly in the corner. Most plasma's generate quite a bit of heat and rely on convection to move air through bottom to top louvres.. Or live with 50" viewing while wearing a coat!(turn the rad off)
