No, you cannot connect a HomePod to a TV via Bluetooth. The HomePod primarily uses AirPlay, Apple's own wireless protocol for streaming audio. To connect your HomePod to your TV, ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and use AirPlay from your TV's audio output settings, if compatible. For TVs without AirPlay support, consider using an Apple TV box to bridge the connection between your HomePod and TV.
