Using HomePod w Apple TV

Can I use only one HomePod with my Apple TV? I’ve been wanting to get an Apple TV for the past few months, and I’m wondering if I one HomePod will work with it. Can anyone help?

Yes one will work. If you get an Apple tv 4K you can set the HomePod as default audio. There are 3 models of the 4k, the second and third generation can be plugged in via ARC HDMI port (if your tv has this port) and this will also allow you to use it for all tv audio output. I’d advise getting the most recent model if you can, so it supports the latest features that get released in subsequent tvOS updates. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the sound and can decide later if you want another HomePod to stereo pair. (You must have the same model of HomePods to stereo pair).
