Will my Uverse remote work through glass doors?

Question

I'm thinking of buying a new media cabinet with glass doors... will my Uverse remote still work if the doors are closed? I don't like the look of open doors or exposed components on the top of the cabinet, so am hoping this is a good solution.

Thanks!

@cytochrome - Probably, most likely, they should,  unlikely that it would NOT work

In theory, it should. It works for me, but the glass might distort the IR signal. If that happens, you would need to get a Logitech Harmony or another RF remote. To test, try holding a glass in front of the box's IR sensor (between the 3 lights and the power button) and try using the remote. If it does work, you might need RF.

You should monitor the heat build up if you stick the DVR in a cabinet...

@pedrochinI have heard this is an issue. someone else commented on the review of the cabinet that they cut extra holes in the back after putting in their stereo components (he admitted it was a lot). I just have the Uverse reciever, a DVR (which I almost never use), a moden and a router, which will go in a big 62'' cabinet with a few decor things. Ill keep and eye on it, but I think it shoule be OK.
