Samsung Frame TV

I would like to hide the mini genie behind the tv (I have plenty of space) I’m wondering how to set that up, so that I can watch tv without seeing the little box anywhere. Do I need an IR extender, if so, what kind should I get.

Why not use RF?

RF is radio frequency so it doesn't need line of sight.

I’m not sure my Direct tv ginoe had that option. I would love to have nothing visible at all.

Can't see the remotes model number from that pic but so long as it has the "R" after the RCXX then it can be used to control the C31 in RF, you have to rerun remote setup and change it to RF.
