Hi everyone. I'm a bit stuck on a very specific technical point. My current LG TV is not e-ARC - LG-65SM8050PLC. I have a Sonos beam gen 1 and wondering if worth updating to Gen 2 (with atmos). I think i need the TV to pass through the sound (only one input) so I push all my sources - apple TV 4k, sky tv) through the tv and then Arc HDMI to the sounder, so whatever I'm watching is what I'm listening to. Nice and simple. So, my understanding is my TV doesn't have e-ARC, so can't do TruHD passthrough, but might pass through the atmos data as DD plus? Since i don't think i would listen to any TruHD sources, would this work? Would love not to update my TV as it's 18 months old. Anyone in a similar situation?

Thanks

Chris
