I've had good luck with double sided Gorilla tape for stuff I never need to move. If there's a chance I'd need to occasionally move it, I use industrial hook & loop tape instead like 3M Dual Lock.

Attaching an Apple TV / Cable Box
I will preface this by saying that I have no idea where on AVS to post this question so if it is more appropriate in another forum please advise where.
I am in the midst of a fireplace remodel and only have an Apple TV and AT&T TV streaming box that I need to have hidden. Because of the stone being installed and having a mount that will be pulled out at times nearly two feet, mounting them on the back wall would stretch the power cords too much. Therefore I want to attach them whether it be with Velcro or some other type of adhesive to the back of the television. I will pick a couple of spots that don’t have vents where the tv will need airflow. I found some holders that fit the devices perfectly so that I can then mount them but I want to know what product I should use to attach them to the back of the TV.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I do this on two of our televisions. One just has a ATV 4K. The other has an ATV 4K and a harmony hub. I use the peel and stick Velcro for all of it. Home Depot sells it in pre cut 2” circles. They’re the perfect size.
