If it's connected to the tv, sure, but otherwise.. what's the benefit? Wireless APs/routers are not great there, the TV will block signal. Everything else I can think of (home server, switches, smart hubs, etc) is IMHO better in a hidden but more accessible spot. I say this as someone with a lot of this type of gear in my house and an obsession with neat/hidden cables and just generally making things like this as invisible as possible.
