Unfortunately, the HomePod cannot connect to a TV via Bluetooth as it uses Wi-Fi to connect to other devices. To play your TV’s audio through your HomePod, you can use Apple AirPlay. Ensure both the TV and HomePod are on the same Wi-Fi network. If your TV supports AirPlay, go to the Settings or Audio Output options on your TV, and select your HomePod as the audio output device. If your TV does not support AirPlay, consider using an Apple TV or AirPlay 2 compatible smart TV to bridge the connection.
