Nope, should be fine. You can also use you iPhone to control the Apple TV too
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you don’t need to have a line of sight for the remote to work correctly. This remote is made to work via a Bluetooth transmission. Meaning as long as you are within a certain range of the device itself the signal will reach. If you’re one for a neat and tidy, more concealed setup, I’d recommend the “TotalMount” hookup that hides the AppleTV behind your TV. The remote will still work 100%, and you’ll get a cleaner looking setup.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While ideal, it is not necessary to have line of site for the Apple Tv remote. The remote is RF, and there are several Apple Tv mounts you can purchase to actually mount the Apple Tv to the back of your set. Hope that helps. t
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does not. The IR blaster on the remote is only for use with the television itself, if you need that functionality (e.g., controlling volume).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it does not need to have a line of sight. I tested it behind my tv, and it worked for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it does not. Its a RF style remote. It can be hidden away within range of the remote.
