Not normally. The remote is transmitting an infrared beam to the television, so it needs a direct line of sight in order to work properly. Beaming through a frosted piece of glass is going to diffuse that beam in any number of directions.

∙ 16y agoANSWER As long as it's clear glass or plastic, is not very thick and is not very far away from the TV, like a window in a serving hatch through a wall that is near to the TV, the infrared beam should get through to control the TV.
If its infrared beam has to get through a glass or plastic barrier like that you can't expect the remote to work as far away from the TV as it does when it's used as normal in the same room. The following answer is a bit of a puzzle. Maybe someone else will be able to explain what it means and make it easier to understand? ANSWER
To have a remote work through glass, you must surround your TV with Plexi Glass and then turn around. This works because the remote control uses infra-red technology, and whatever is in your house will make the beam bounce off and hit the tv.

Will a remote control work through a drywall?
A TV remote? Probably not. TV remotes work via infra-red light. When you press a button, the command is sent to the TV through the infra-red light on the remote, which is picked up by an infra-red receiver on the front of the TV. Light cannot travel through walls. Infra-red extender systems are available to allow a remote in one room to operate equipment in another and can be purchased at AV dealers or on line. If you mean a remote for a racing car or something, then yes, because these work by radio waves, not infra-red light, which can pass through most walls, depending on the strength of the waves.
