Minimalistic packaging to reduce waste.
99% of what we watch now is fed via a Roku 2 XS that is mounted to the back of the TV. The upper ethernet is what feeds the Roku. The remote it comes with is Bluetooth, but it also supports RF and IR. Last night I was playing with a Harmony universal remote, and I didn't have any problems with the Roku picking up the Harmony's IR signals, even when stuck behind the TV.
More to your question, the HDMI feed to another room was originally so that I could locate my Xbox in a closet, but I'm not 100% if latency to screen is going to be an issue. The Xbox controllers are RF, so IR is not a problem there. Here is what I installed, I could always replace it with This one if I needed IR to work.
Exactly. I've got 2 roku mounts taking up glue-free real estate behind my TVs.

You mean the TotalMount?
I have one and it works fine, but it blocks access to the Roku's USB port (which I use for movies). If you don't use that port, the TotalMount does exactly what it's supposed to and keeps the Roku out of the way.
