Apple TV 4K

Good afternoon! Can I install an Apple TV 4K behind the TV (attached to the wall), will it respond to the remote? Or I need to install it above or below the TV?

Setup Apple TV 4k 2nd Generation Without Remote Hi, a friend of mine is giving his Apple TV 4k 2nd Generation A2169, but without the remote. I am looking for ways to set it up at my home. After searching around, I found the below article: If you lost the remote for your Apple TV - Apple Support (CA) It tells me to setup an Apple TV remote in the control center of my iPhone or iPad (I have both). So, let me get this straight: 1) Plug in Apple TV to power plug. Plug in HDMI to TV. The TV should display something from the Apple TV. 2) Plug in Apple TV to local gigabit ethernet cable to join local network (because I don't have remote to setup wifi) 3) Install Apple Remote app on iPad. Ensure iPad is connected to local network via wifi. 4) Apple Remote app should automatically detect AppleTV and will allow me to add it as pairing as they are on the same network. Is the above correct? Are there any other ways of setting the Apple TV up without the remote? Is there ways to plug in my USB keyboard? Is there any other input devices that do not require pairing but can be plugged directly in? Can I buy an old Apple Tv 3rd gen (1080p) A1469 IR remote and will it work without configuration or pairing? Will the metal remote work with the newer A2169?

I mount mine below the TV, however many mount them behind the TV. If you need a mounting bracket there are many available such as: https://www.amazon.com/TotalMount-Apple-Mount-Compatible-including/dp/B017K17PQ8/ref=asc_df_B017K17PQ8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309764501757&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16826674409604131228&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032443&hvtargid=pla-441596338025&psc=1
