Hi, any advice on what I need to purchase to make the remote recieve a signal behind a tv media wall. I want to put the puck out of site and behind the wall but when I do this the remote won't work. What 'gadget' can I purchase to allow the remote to 'talk' to the puck because the options at the back of the puck are really limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreThe Stream remote primarily uses Bluetooth (which is how Voice Control functions). Bluetooth signal will generally penetrate some surfaces, but not metal or anything else blocking/absorbing wireless frequencies: repeating or extending Bluetooth is theoretically possible but not so much in practice.
If you can live without Voice Control then IR may be viable, and that can get past line of sight issues using a simple cabled IR repeater powered over USB
