    Starting Out II - X-Box Placement & Controllers

    Here's another newbie question for you. I'd like to place my X-Box in my equipment closet which is on the front wall of my theater room about 6 feet to the left of the center of the TV screen, but I'm worried that the wireless remotes won't work well or at all if the box isn't right in line with the TV. Any thoughts?

    David, I doubt that the 6 feet will make a difference, the remotes (controllers?) use rf, IIRC.

        I agree also. I would just make sure that you have the Logitech wireless 2.4 GHZ, that is currently the best rated wireless controller.

        Good luck,

            Cool beans 8) , David. That's the one I own and have not experienced any issues, except when the batteries run out, well worth the money.

            Have fun,

            Azeke

              The only negative with the wireless controllers is no online play with the headset.

                Logitech has wireless headsets, and they also have wireless controllers with bluetooth technology (available in Feb 2005).

                  I just saw a logitech wireless headset for the Xbox at Fry's last week.

                  A bit expensive, but it's an option.

                      Logitech Wireless headset

                      I have the logitech wireless controller and headset. The headset has been disappointing from an interference standpoint. I've tried disabling my wireless router, removing my wireless phones from the room. all to no avail. Just a word of caution, pretty expensive item to get constant (but distant) clicking in your ear. I've tried everything that's been suggested so far. any ideas from anyone would be appreciated
