Can Roku Ultra be installed in closet?

Jump to solution

So I just recently bought a Roku ultra. My tv hangs on the wall in the living room but the HDMI cable attached to it runs across the ceiling in the wall to a closet nearby (behind those watching and slightly around corner).  Will I be ok to install Roku Ultra to that HDMI cable?  Will the remote operate ok if I install the Roku there? Basically the Roku box will be in a closet behind me when I am watching.

 

Right now I have cable and the cable box is attached to the HDMI cable.  My plan was to cancel cable and figured the Roku would connect there and work well but I thought I would double check here first.

Thanks for the post.

Since the Roku Ultra remote functions wirelessly rather than IR, you should be perfectly fine with connecting and hiding the Roku device in your closet.

 

Thanks,

Is there a distance concern?  My media closet is about 50 feet from the TV and in another room.

@BobPh, it has to be wired to your TV and 50' high quality HDMI cables aren't cheap unless you have some kind of high-tech solution you're using to get a video signal from this closet to your TV.
