The way I hooked our Uverse receivers was to have one hard wired to our main large TV in the living room. The second receiver is wireless and feeds all the other TV sets and they are connected by coax cable. The second box came with a standard ATT remote and I bought one of their RF remotes that use an antenna that plugs into the USB port on the front of the Uverse box. The remote and antenna are matched so it is a plug and play.

If there are more than one Uverse receivers then they have to be separated as there is no way to keep the IR remote signals matched to just one box. If you change one, all will change and since your kitchen receiver is hidden in a closet it should be fine. The wireless IOGear system will work fine from the closet to the kitchen TV but remember there is that little receiver, connecting cable AND probably a DC power adapter that will have to be plugged in somewhere?

The last thing to consider is interference that can cause the Uverse receiver to drop it's connection or the IOGear system to do the same. The tech that came to install mine said it was a good idea to have my TV sets and the receivers wired since there are lots of home appliances that can cause signal loss.
