Kool Tools: Apple TV mount
The new Apple TV may transform how we interact with televisions. However, people with wall-mounted televisions often wonder where to put their new Apple TV.
No problem. A patented Apple TV mount dubbed TotalMount Pro is now available in Apple stores. It attaches the Apple set-top box to the back of your television.
Wall-mounted TV owners previously struggled with tunneling an HDMI cable from a television through a wall to an Apple TV. Running an HDMI cable through a wall is too destructive and time-consuming for many people. TotalMount Pro makes Apple TV installation simple by attaching the Apple TV to the back of the television.
This installation method positions the Apple set-top box for easy access to the HDMI port on the back of the television. (A power cord is still necessary, but most wall-mounted televisions have a power outlet behind the television.)
The new Apple TV includes a rechargeable remote control with motion sensing, a Touch surface for navigation, and Bluetooth (so the remote's signal can pass through walls). TotalMount Pro also includes a remote holder that assists with recharging the remote control. TotalMount Pro is currently priced at $29.95 and is available exclusively in Apple stores and at Apple.com. TotalMount Pro is compatible with the new Apple TV (fourth generation) and adjusts to fit the second and third Apple TV generations.
