A mounting system configured to mount a digital media player to a television having a first vent and a second vent, wherein the television is configurable to display images based on digital signals from the digital media player, the mounting system comprising:
- a base coupled to the television, wherein the base is located at least partially between the digital media player and the television;
- a first sidewall coupled to the base;
- a second sidewall coupled to the base, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are configured to couple the digital media player to the base, the first sidewall and the second sidewall are oriented such that they protrude away from the television, and at least a portion of the digital media player is located between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
- a first hook coupled to the base, wherein the first hook comprises a first front portion that protrudes away from the base and towards the television, and wherein the first front portion enters the first vent of the television such that the first hook couples the base to the television;
- and
- a second hook coupled to the base, wherein the second hook comprises a second front portion that protrudes away from the base and towards the television, and wherein the second front portion enters the second vent of the television such that the second hook couples the base to the television.
