CRT TVs generate a lot of heat. Are you sure you want to put your 360 on top of what is essentially a lesser form of a hotplate? Also, is the top of your TV a nice flat surface?

My rule of thumb is always that I treat my 360 like I would treat my gaming PC. I keep it up off the carpet, in an open area, and with all the vents exposed to air. If you're not doing that, you're asking for trouble.
