Feature Request: Sonos TV Hub

Peter Pee also talked about it

I am disappointed by this news, I was waiting for this product from Sonos, and if they would only make a wireless streaming box, with Hdmi ARC or Earc inputs like 3 or 4 so I could listen to the audio from my TV connected via Hdmi ARC with my Sonos Era 100 wirelessly, without the need to use a sound bar, I am willing to pay 300 or 400 dollars if Sonos would make a wireless box like that, that is all I ask Sonos.

Sonos, I need a Sonos Tv Hub, not another product like the Apple tv, just a Hub to be able to connect the audio from my TV to my Sonos Era 100 or Era 300 speakers wirelessly without having to use a sound bar, only left and right channels using the Sonos Era 100 or 300, consider this Sonos would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

I wonder if this could be achieved by making a HDMI eARC to USB-C adapter. Then you could plug your tv into one of the Era 300’s using this adapter for example and that connects wirelessly to a 4 or 5 speaker setup

Your stereo Era 300 would need the appropriate electronics / chipset to both receive said type of signal, interpret it, and then have the capability to send out that many separate signals. I don’t think it has those electronics. 

Nor do I think, without looking, that a USB-C connector has the bandwidth necessary to carry Dolby Atmos. Now I need to look that part up, but I’m certain (relatively) about the electronics in the Era 300. It would be odd for Sonos to spend the extra money on that kind of unused electronics. 

I had to buy the Sonos amp and connect my TV to the HDMI ARC output and that way I was able to connect my Era 100 via my Wi-Fi, but I want a smaller box, more or less like the Sonos Port or a little smaller with only HDMI ARC inputs.
