Wireless cable box

I am thinking about hanging a tv on a wall that has no cable access. The current cable box is not on a direct line of sight so the remote will not work.  I understand that there is wireless box available from Xfinity. Would this solve both my problems of no cable access and remote not working without line of sight? I want no gable/wires showing at the mounted tv.

Never heard of wireless connections from an X1 box to a TV.  The WiFi X1 boxes work without a coax cable to the box, but still use HDMI to the TV. You could use the Xfinity Stream app on the TV instead of a settop box.  Many Xfinity remotes use RF, so you shouldn't need line of sight from the remote to the X1 box.
