Repetitive Intercom / Home Theater Prompts for HomePod in Home App

Almost every time I open the Home app on my iPhone, I am prompted to enable the Intercom and Home Theater functionality for my HomePod. Each time, I enable the Intercom and say “Not now” for the Home Theater. But it keeps asking me over and over. This seems like a bug.

HomePod now playing adverts via Tune-In? Until about a week ago, asking my HomePod to "play radio station XYZ" would respond with: "Now playing XYZ via Tune-In", and then play the stream. Asking the same thing now responds with, "Now playing XYZ via Tune-In," then plays a little "ding-dong, Tune-In" ditty, then plays about a minute of adverts before it gets to the stream. To be honest, I don't think this is acceptable, and there doesn't seem to be any way of turning it off. Unless you guys know how? Other than AirPlaying from my phone to the HomePod (which isn't always doable since it's not always with me or in the same room), what can I do?

Homepod loses connection after pause. My desk setup is that I have an Homepod Mini sitting on my desk and an iPad. I play music from my IPad through Airplay to the Homepod. It works great! Sounds great! UNTIL... I have a meeting or something I need to pause the music. After a few minutes, the iPad loses the connection to the Homepod and I can't continue my music without reconnecting. This is extremely annoying and frustrating. Please fix this.

Problems with Homepod - ask "Hey Siri, Play Capital" but get other stations, currently Capital Extra We have a Homepod which occassionally struggles when we ask it to "Play Capital", which should just start playing Capital FM radio. However, on occassions, when you ask it to "Play Capital" it starts playing Capital London, or Capital Extra - which can be requested by saying their full name "Play Capital London" or "Play Capital Extra" but even when asking that, it seems to get stuck on whichever station it decides to play. The only way I can change it, is by playing Capital through my phone and then airplaying it to the Homepod. Frustrating when something so simple messes up - any suggestions on fixes or saving a specific radio station to Siri's memory to play as a favourite?

It might help to enable home theatre , then disable if you don’t want it, you can do this in the Home App, ATV icon settings

Or turn on your Apple TV and click not now on that.

Thanks, that's a good suggestion. Regrettably I have already tried this with no success. I've also tried other permutations of accepting / declining the prompts.
