My Home Pods stopped working. When I try to sign them into my account the Home app spins, then says it wasn't able to complete the operation.
My guess from reading the forums is that I've been an Apple customer too long, so I have two accounts because I've been an Apple customer longer than any of these services.
Is this a known bug?

Ideally you would use one Apple ID for all things Apple. If needs be you can link accounts via Family Sharing such that you can access the unhidden purchase history of both accounts.
If needs be see Reset HomePod - Apple Support and use this method to reset it:
Reset HomePod or HomePod mini

Yeah, well, chicken and egg/catch-22 problem there. When iTunes launched, I had to sign up with my one mailing address. iCloud came later.
Good tip on the Family Sharing, I'll do that, thanks.
Resetting the home pod worked. They're now a stereo pair. They're even playing the Apple TV sound, though turned out I had to set that up via the remote menu, using Settings/Audio didn't work. Don't know why that would be other than they're different code paths.
Home Pod can't deal with split Apple IDs?
