Can I mount my telus cable box behind my tv?

My cable box is an older one, so definitely not the new Android box. I don't see technicolour or Arris marked anywhere on the box either. I guess the question should actually be, what do I need to do to mount the cable box behind the TV & have it function? I did a little internet research & it sounds like I would need an infrared extender cable. Perhaps I should contact Telus & inquire about the Android box.

- JeffC2 years agoFriendly NeighbourThx xray. My box does have an IR port.

Thanks for the heads up! If I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right or wrong, 80% of the time I'm wrong! Lol
