Will the signal still reach my cable box if I mount it behind the TV?Updated 3 years ago

Usually, yes. Bluetooth remotes don’t require line of sight and IR remote signals can bounce off walls and generally still reach the cable box. We can't speak for all when we say your remote will work, however it DOES work in the majority of setups. We suggest that you test your setup to be sure. Worst case, you can purchase an IR Extender for as low as $10. For a more in-depth explanation click here.

 

To test your signal, hold the cable box where you want to mount it and have a friend try the remote. If you don’t have any friends, well, you can always purchase an IR extender.
