Before Buying - Sky Q and other connectivity

Hi everyone,

I am ready to push the button on a home theatre setup involving the Arc Ultra / ERA 100’s and a Sub.

Currently I have an LG Soundbar which has 2 HDMI inputs. I connect my Panasonic UB9000 directly to it for audio as it shows zero lip sync issues from any source.

I have a 65 inch LG G5 TV.

My full connected devices would be:
Sky Q
Apple TV
XBOX Series X
Panasonic UB9000

Now I know that from my UB9000 I would have to then send Audio/Video to the TV HDMI, and the Arc to my eARC HDMI and let the TV do all the work.

My issues before buying are mostly with SKY Q and how well this works.

Ideally I need to know whether with my setup I am likely to get any Lip Sync issues, and also… I don’t really want the sound coming through my rear speakers when watching standard TV.

Any advice would be appreciated.

How many HDMI inputs does your TV have? I count four auxiliary players and most TV’s have four inputs. Where would you connect the Arc Ultra to in this scenario?

Well spotted. Arc Ultra would connect the HDMI (2) eARC, that leaves 3 HDMI. In this scenario, I would ditch the Apple TV, as the LG has a native WebOS AppleTV+ App, or obtain HDMI switcher?

I have a HDMI switcher for my Apple TV and XBOX and currently it works perfectly. I much prefer the Apple TV to the WebOS app. It just feels smoother.
