    Hey all!

    So I'm actually thinking of buying a Kinect considering you can find one cheap nowadays. So the distance in front of the TV is no problem for me (which seems to be the main problem for most users), but I'm actually worried about the distance above the floor needed since my TV table is really low.

    Microsoft recommend having the Kinect 2 - 6 feet (0.6 meter - 1.8 meter) above the floor, and right now the very top of my TV is at 3.3 feet (1 meter).

    Is putting the Kinect on the top of my TV looking at trouble, considering it's just above the minimum hight?
