    Just wondering can you hide this set top box and maybe get a infrared remote control extender that connects into a usb port.

    The remote is RF, so no line of sight needed.

    I know a work colleague can operate the stb through a studed wall from the the bedroom to the living room, signal is carried on a HDMI cable.

    Do you use it for WiFi, that would reduce your WiFi strength by up to 50%. Also it needs some ventilation so it doesn't overheat.

    Thanks lads, working well so far, it's a false chimney breast so plenty of ventilation behind it.
