This Hey, World blog has started out its life as an obituary column for Apple products that I own and use every day.

Today Apple announced that the full-size HomePod is no more.

I try to use a HomePod pair with my Apple TV. When it works, it sounds fantastic. However most days it doesn’t. I get all kinds of failures — with content pausing, or one of the HomePods failing. 

I had hoped that this functionality would be improved in the future. Now I’m not so hopeful. 

I guess it’s time to look in to other options for better TV audio.
