I'm purchasing a TV unit where all my components are hidden from view.
With front of the unit, made of wood, how would I control my devices without having to open the unit.

The unit I'm purchasing is below.

The components I have are Denon AVR, DSTV PVR, HTPC, Xbox and PS3. All units are going to be out of sight so IR will not work.
The PS3 and HTPC are fine as they are blue tooth, but the others I'm sure use IR. Xbox maybe RF, not sure ?

Google tells me I need something like this

Appreciate any suggestions ?
