Sonos Beam Input Select
Can the input be selected on the Beam? For example, can I watch my TV and listen to music from my library or streaming service through the beam?

I would imagine that just as it can with the Playbar and Playbase, you can choose to listen to TV or to music with Beam. When you have selected the room/zone with one of these devices, the option to select TV appears in the "Browse" tab in the app.
Unfortunately, there isn't a voice command to switch the audio back to TV if you start playing music on Playbar/Playbase, so I assume the same for Beam... so if you play music while the TV is on, you'll either need to power cycle the TV or pull out a Sonos controller app to switch back to TV sound. It would be nice if Sonos could do something about that... for all of their TV-centered devices.
