Siri problems when used with homepod to remote control apple tv

Hi,

I am interested why I can't use the same Siri commands that I use when opening the apple tv remote in the iPhone control center and press the side button to activate Siri.

Here is a simple example:

Command for iPhone remote Siri: Hey Siri, show me popular Christmas movies.

It brings up a list of popular Christmas movies available on my Apple tv on my TV screen.

Command to homepod: Hey Siri, show me popular Christmas movies on Apple Tv.

Siri responds by saying "I couldn't find that on Apple music.

But when I say, "Hey Siri, play FRIENDS on Apple Tv, it brings up a list with different shows with the word FRIENDS in them.

My question is this: Is there a way to make the homepod Siri respond the same way as the iPhone remote Siri?

No, Siri on HomePod is limited when compared to iPhone and cannot be made to act identically.
