Can you hang a tv above a radiator? ?

Not the most sensible place

Depends on the BTU rating of the rad, the size of the room its in, the ventilation and the max operating temp for the telly.

you could always fit a shelf above the rad to stop the heat rising directly into the TV

When I said I'd like to be well hung, this was NOT what I had in mind.

But have you been sturdily mounted?

I have heard of the shelf thing but I wonder if it will reduce performance of the tv. It is actually the best place in mt living room will free up space in my bay window

How big is the television? My daughter had one that gave off enough heat to heat her room. No need for the radiator to be on

hate to appear thick or blonde - but why would a shelf over the rad affect the tv?

Deflects the heat flow away from the tv

Depends on the temperature at the base of the tv.

Ideally they are designed usually with venting at the bottom and top, if no fans fitted relying on the internal heat rising out the top drawing in cooler air in the bottom.

If you are raising that cooler air to 40+ then what you will do at best is reduce the life of the electronics inside, at worst when running something may exceed the acceptable operating temperature and fail.

personally I wouldnt do it because at best you are prematurely aging the tv. however if its the only place in the room appropriate then you have no choice, as others have said a small shelf above the rad will help as it will push the hot air more into the room.

SImple way of testing is to site a thermometer roughly where the bottom of the tv will be and see what it gets to. I would say 30-35 degrees not ideal but prob okish, 35+ starting to be not sensible.

exactly- so its fine to have one - in fact better to have one - but wouldnt affect the performance of the tv rather the lack of a shelf would

Could go for gold and mount a fridge up there, cooling tv inside it. But overall seems a bit daft with all the excess energy used and life shortening. Fuck me in a fridge and could be a winner.
