We have the same setup. However, the person who built the house, preinstalled the cable outlet and electrical outlets above the mantle, so we don't really have a choice. They also did this in our bedroom (TV outlets above fireplace).
We rarely use the fireplace, so I'm not worried about the temperature. However, I am worried a bit about neck strain. We'll be sitting far enough back that I hope it won't be much of a problem, though.
I'm planning on installing the wall mounting brackets in the next couple of days.
