TV in front of Electric Heater

Hi
We have just rearranged our living room and found that to maximise space we would have to place our TV in front of our wall mounted electric heater.
My question is how safe is it to turn the heater on? The TV covers about 25% of the heater and is about 7 inches away from the heater.
If unsafe and is going to burn my flat down then may have to rethink plan as its getting awfully chilly nowawdays !!!
Thanks

It will be OK as long as you pour water over the TV every 30 seconds. That should help keep
it cool enough to watch.
Try standing 7 inches from the fire & see how long you can tolerate it.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

If it is a convector heater you might get away with it. If it is a radiant heater then its a big no no.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
