M300 Installation Tips?

I just hooked up my M300 to my new TV and wish to hide it behind. It has a bracket with screw holes, but there's no place for screws in my TV or wall mount.

My only thoughts are:
A. Screw it into the wall
B. Adhere it to the TV with high-strength tape

I imagine users here have found a better way. I'd love to know your tips and tricks.

Thank you.
 
There are two separate brackets that come with the M300, one for the Player (obviously the larger somewhat flat bracket), and one for the power supply. Although it might be possible to attach them to the back of some TV's, or the wall mount bracket (assuming wall mounted), the more usual location is the wall behind the TV. Yes, that can be a challenge if you don't have much space. All of my TV's have recessed mounts (large cutout in the wall) that allow for an M300. Point is, if you lack the space, or don't want to screw into the wall directly, then consider locating the Player away from the TV (assuming you can still control the Player). These days it's easier to use long HDMI cable runs.
(I'd consider zip tie straps before tape, but if you do use tape, be careful not to cover any air vents.)

Yup, that's even better.

Glue from tape and heat never go. It will eventually lose its adhesive qualities. So if you are determined to fix it I would personally make a bracket and fix it to the wall properly.

But I would do it like I do on all my jobs, find a suitable location, run services to said location and then run it to the TV via HDBaseT.

This is where a centralised rack really sells itself for the clean living home everyone wants.
