Repurpose the Pinewood streamer as a home theater hub.

While a dedicated streamer from Sonos, competing against the likes of the AppleTV, may have been a silly idea, they did have one function that looked promising: its ability to be the hub for customizable home theater setups that don’t involve a soundbar.

Give us a reasonably priced (maybe $100-150) box with multiple HDMI inputs that allows custom HT setups like using 5X ERA 300s. This can also double as an eARC extractor for people with TVs that lack one. Sonos gets to both make money on the box and on new speaker sales, seems like a win win, especially if the tech is already there (which it might given the beta testing for front left / right speakers). This can generate quick revenue while they can continue to focus on improving the app and looking to the future.
