I have a sky Q box and my tv is now wall mounted - can the box be inside a cupboard, will the remote still work?

@LJB16 as long as you have a remote that has the voice button either on the front or the side then yes your remote will work but it will need line of sight of the box if you need to re-pair the remote at anytime

Take care putting a Sky Q box in a cupboard. (or any other electronic device!) It needs significant ventilation to avoid overheating. Make sure there is plenty of airflow around it. A totally enclosed cupboard will cause it to overheat and cause you lots of problems.
