Spoke to Metrocast, the person on phone wasn't sure that would work, said box is large 6inch x 8inch by 1 inch. I did not think that was that big, has anyone had a situation like this, Any thoughts??

I did this for a TV in our bedroom. I can add a pic later if you want, but basically what I did was add a square aluminum tube as a spacer between the TV and the wall-mount bracket that attaches to the back of the TV.
The cable box sits flat against the back of the TV, and catches the IR signals fine, but most boxes also allow you to add an external IR receiver in case they are hidden and can't "see" the IR signal.
You could also do these:
