Might sound like a daft question, but would something like the 3M Command Hanging Strips (which you normally use for hanging pictures on the wall) not be a good (and cheap) solution, if you want to wall mount an Android TV box on the wall (behind your wall mounted TV)? The box itself weighs approx 500g. Has a google and looks like no one else have suggested it.
Just make sure you have the large ones and use at least 3 or 4 of them. I’ve routinely used them for small home theatre speakers from HTIAB systems that weigh more than that and they’ve been fine.
Some plastics keep putting out the plasticisers which screw up adheisives over time and they go back to being gummy and will fall off. Never tried an android TV box but the 3m strips hated the plastic on some photo frame type display box that I tried sticking to the wall. You could see where the strip was on the box it changed the surface gloss as well.
Just make sure that you clean it all with isopropyal alcohol first, the straight stuff not the crap that bunnings pass off as it calling it a surface cleaner. I had to get a liter of it from miter 10 to get the pure stuff.
I used a sheet of aluminium bent and shaped into the right size for my Apple TV, and used the mounting bracket to attach the aluminium to the back of tv.
I recommend mounting in some fashion to the tv, as then you can have short tidy cables that don’t become hinderance if you need to take the tv off the wall.
Just remembered that I need to mount the Logitech Harmony Hub too, so probably easier with the hanging strips on the wall. Also, went in to Jaycar. Product discontinued
(Also, went in to Jaycar. Product discontinued) I went to their website and tried to order it anyway. Worked a treat and 5 mins later I received an email, stating that I could pick it up from my local store (Glenfield). The guy who earlier the same day told me that the product was discontinued, did look at bit puzzled.
Hopefully by having a mount, which keeps the Android box separate from the tape, it should resolve the issue of it dropping off, when it gets hot.
