What is the range of the Apple TV (3rd gen) remote?

I just bought my parents an Apple TV for Christmas. Is the signal strengh of the remote strong enough to allow it to work behind closed wooden doors, or does it need to be exposed? Can it be hidden if the Remote app for iOS is used in place of the standard remote?

Thanks for the help!

The supplied remote works fine at around 20 ft, but it must have line of sight, since it uses IR (light).


The remote app will work from anywhere where the device it's on can connect to the same network.
