With bezel and smoked glass on TV, how do you use the remote?

[sofakng]

Let me first say that I'm using a Toshiba 27A33 TV.  It works perfectly and I don't think I'll need a remote for a while, but what if I do need to use?

The *only* reason I might need it is for changing the input (if I put a DC or PS2 in my cabinet), or if I want to change the brightness/sharpness on the TV itself.

The problem is that when I put the bezel and smoked glass over the TV, there is no way for the remote to work unless I cut a small hole in the bezel.

Do most people cut small holes for this reason?  What do you suggest I do?
