Adding Arc and Amp to existing HT

We are looking to add the Sonos Arc and Amp to our current HT setup. Below is a crudely drawn picture of what we have today and how we think it will be setup. Question: Does the Arc and Amp need to be connected by wire or wireless? Can I get TV sound with both the ARC/Amp? Would we need to connect the Sonos Connect, PS4, Android and Sat. receiver directly to the TV?

Appreciate any help, we are newbies at this.

The Arc and Amp can connect wirelessly.

The Amp/ceiling speakers will be connected as rear surrounds to the Arc so the TV audio will play out of both the Arc and ceiling speakers.

You can connect the PS4, Android box, and satellite receiver directly to your TV. I’m not sure you need the receiver and Sonos Connect anymore unless you are using the receiver to connect more devices to your TV.
