Remote mounting HDTV components?

We are looking at renovating our family area and would like to mount a HD flat screen TV above a fire place. The whole fireplace will be covered in stone so there is no place to put the satalite box, DVD player, etc. How is this done? I am assuming that I will need to buy new RF remotes instead of the IR remotes I am currently using, but what about everything else? There is a set of stairs behind the fire place with a small walk in closet that I will most likely use to mount the electronics.

Mounting a TV above a fireplace is a bad idea. Is this a fireplace that you use? Does the fireplace have a mantle? All fireplaces at one time or another have back draft. Do you want smoke and heat all over your very expensive TV? The most common mistake people make when hanging a TV on the wall is placing it too high. The TV should be placed so that the center of the screen is at eye level when seated. Placing a TV above a fireplace mantle will make it way too high. Although mounting the TV to a masonary or brick surface is a relatively minor obstacle, how do you plan on hiding the wires? You will need to somehow get power, coax, DVD signal (RGB or HDMI), to the TV as well as audio from the TV to your sound system.
