Mounting AppleTV4K on back of television

[dwrufus53]

Has anyone done this? My question has more to do with the function of the Siri Remote, as there will be no direct line-of-sight between the remote in my hand and the ATV4K behind the television. Any issues with responsiveness?

I have to ask because until last month, we had a lot more video equipment and use a Harmony remote which did not work well without a direct line-of-site to the ATV4K. I have experimented a bit by pressing various buttons on the Siri Remote while purposely pointing the remote away from the ATV4K and it seems to work. But I don't want to spend money on a behind-the-television mount if this whole thing is a fool's errand.

Yes, I’ve mounted one on the back of our tv. The remote doesn’t use IR to connect to the Apple TV. It connects to the Apple TV via Bluetooth. The remote has IR functionality to connect to your tv for the volumes controls.

Check Amazon for mounts, or go super cheap with Velcro.

You just need to be carefully not to mount it somewhere that gets hot or it could cause overheating issues.
