Perfect timing as I just bought ATV 4K, 3rd Gen. and have been trying to get my Samsung q90r tv and new ATV to play its content thru my NAD c328 amp. Worked perfectly with all tv apps including AppleTV app but now cannot get any audio other than tv speakers!?! Saw your post and instantly switched to all my ATV 4K audio output thru HomePod, v1 and it sounds really good! Now I am going to pick up another HPod, v1 and pair them. THANK YOU!
UPDATE: I bought a 2nd HPod plus added a mini from another room to ATV4k and OMG the sound is amazing! Was going to buy a couple KEF LS50 METAS to improve amp & old speakers but not necessary now. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You saved me from $1550 METAS to $300 HPod. All used, of course.
@@GeorgeLista 2 HPd, v1 on console under wall mounted tv and mini on rear wall. Haven’t bought 2 mini as I have just left tv audio solely thru 2 HPds as mini doesn’t add anything worthwhile.
Is it necessary to have Apple TV to connect a Home pod to a TV set? Also, if you have only one HDMI Arc socket and 2 Homepods, what do you do? I have thought about buying one of these things, but I still can't get my head round the technology. Also, does it have to be a smart TV? I have a non smart TV in my bedroom which might be suitable for some mini Home pods, but all you tubers seem to assume a level of knowledge that I simply don't have.
First of all, thanks for great video.👍🏻 I will follow your suggestions. One thing I would like to take opinion, If my TV has no any ARC options ( old FHD System), still homepod 2 or homepod mini is to be reasonable to us with apple tv 4k ?
I still have my '08 Vizio . I connected my streaming device to the HDMI Arc connection on my old Insignia 5.1 receiver then to the TV. Insignia is pretty cheap used because the Big Audio enthusiasts are chasing brands like OPPO and Yamaha. I feel the need to downsize and give Apple a try, the Dolby Atmos sealed the deal for me as I did recently buy the Xperia 1 V and have sample 360 and Atmos tracks on Tidal. If I can't connect my Android phone then I'm willing to buy the Apple TV 4k
Other reviewers have said the audio is way better. In testing with the HomePod mini I have noticed a huge improvement compared to the built in speakers. Moving to the bigger HomePod the improvement is 10x even better.
I have an Apple TV 4k + HomePod pair TV setup. This is how I connect it with eARC for Dolby atmos audio. Homepods don't work when I connect via Philips Hue syncbox.can't I use this setup with Hue sync box? I havHomepods don't work when I connect via Philips Hue syncbox.can't I use this setup with Hue sync box?

I have the 2 apple HomePod minis in stereo pair and linked the HDMI cable to my tv through earc. When I'm playing movies on streaming platforms or through my 4k player what audio is this? Is it Dolby atmos or does home-pod minis not deliver dolby atoms?
now REW data no sweeps and i wouldn't use any of these garbage speakers not even klipsch trash speakers or m&k thx trash speakers , only one that is used on dub stages to cinemas to few private THX cinemas and that is JBL professional cinema

Would love Apple to support two HomePod minis for 4 speaker surround
Love me some Less Loose audio 👍😂 Not being nasty..great review and that phrase is a tongue twister! 🤗👍
💀😂💀😂
Actually less loose is perfect cuz every time i listen to lossless audio my expectations goes through the roof and I can’t relax 👍
I am really big fan of Apple Ecosystem. Is it good time to buy HomePod 2 and Apple TV? Or can wait if there is something coming existing 😇
do you have Apple TV running through hue sync box and no issues with eARC?

So you have 3 speakers connected? 2 HomePods and 1 mini? Where are they placed?

I pair both my Homepods with my 5.1 Ch Dolby Atmos soundbar for a fully immersive sound experience!

Apple TV is necessary. It does not need to be a smart tv.
Bro that was everything I wanted to know, you have a follow 😊
Same
I have a TV with ARC and want to set up a pair of HomePods-2. I do NOT have HomeKit but I do have Apple TV-4k. will this work without HomeKit?
The Apple TV can be a HomeKit hub so that should be all you need
Man I can’t get eArc to show up on my Apple TV. It’s in the eArc hdmi slot and it’s not an option in the settings for me. Any ideas?
Most likely your Apple TV is not connected to the correct HDMI on your tv. Has to be in arc hdmi
Which Gen Apple TV do you have? I have 1st gen 4k and I was sad to find that it is not supported on this model so an upgrade pending.
this can be done as PC speakers right because of eArc? I own LG C2 42" using it mainly as a monitor
Did this end up working? I have the same setup.
Did he say "less loose audio"?
He meant lossless. He said it wrong.
Can you use the homepod 2 and 2 homepod mini at the sametime?
Not in stereo mode no. But AirPlay audio, yes.
What’s the difference? I have my two minis in stereo and have my HomePod 2 added. The HomePod 2 acts as the sub for the two minis sounds great.

You think two minis sound better to than stock TV?

How do you prevent Siri from being activated by TV commercials??

Where’d u get the tv furniture ?
Could you tell me what ipad case is that?
I would love to do this! I'm a apple guy, I don't have a tv in my bed room or I would do this with a homepod minis
Good video
HOMEPOD is not seen inmy DEFAULT AUDIO OUTPUT. It’s just under TEMPORARY AUDIO OUTPUT. What does it mean,

You spend 600 on speakers 😳
