connect homepods to sky Q

I have Sky Q along with a Panasonic TV (has 3 HDMI slots) and a pair of Apple Homepds. I am looking to play the TV audio through the Homepods when Watching Sky Q. I figure I will need to buy apple TV?

 

Once I have purchased an Apple TV Box and connected it to my Panasonic TV, will I then be able to just watch Sky Q and have the sound from Sky Q delivered to the TV which will then feed the audio to the Apple TV to then transmitt stereo to a couple of paired homepods?

 

Or will i have to watch everything directly through the Apple TV in order to gain sound via the Homepods?

 

Can someone kindly answer this, thank you.

Some info here: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/play-audio-from-tv-inputs-homepod-apple-tv/#:~:text=ARC%20(Audio%20....

 

If you connect the AppleTV to the TV's HDMI socket with (e)ARC then any audio on the TV (e.g. from the Q from a different HDMI input) should be sent to the AppleTV which can in turn send to the Homepod(s).
