Controlling devices located in another room? I’m planning to connect a bunch of devices via HDMI to a receiver in a different room. Some of the devices that will likely be connected include an AppleTV, a Blu Ray player, an Xbox, and a Nintendo Switch. 

1. If I put the receiver in a different room, do I just need to buy an RF based universal remote and connect an RF adapter to the receiver so I can control the receiver and turn on the individual devices? Is there another way to do this?
2. Besides the obvious need to have physical access to the blu ray player, xbox and Nintendo switch to swap out discs/games, what other downsides are there or issues that I need to think about ahead of time before moving these devices physically out of the room where the TV will be located?

Thanks!
