Hello everyone,
I have a Freebox TV and many other devices in a cabinet below my television. None of the devices had overheated until now, but since I installed my TV box, I find it burning hot along with the other devices being quite warm. I know it's not good at all to let electronic circuits and components heat above 30°C, so I'd like to find a solution. Moreover, I've read that this could be the cause of the graphical bugs I encounter when watching TNT channels live.
I thought about a fan, but in a cabinet, won't that just stir up the hot air?
The cabinet is approximately 60x40x30 and has a cable pass-through at the top, which was previously used as a "ventilator" since hot air rises and would exit from there...
I don't want to take my TV box out of the cabinet because I want a totally invisible installation, which it currently is... And without wanting to be a bother, I would like a solution that is silent.
Thank you in advance
Best regards

In that case, I see two solutions:
1. Completely rethink your setup, for example with a shelving system, even if it's not very stylish.
2. If you can't do that, I suggest removing the doors of your wardrobe to allow for natural ventilation. Boxes with blinking lights aren't so ugly in the end, as long as the cables are neatly organized, unless of course someone is sleeping in the room...
