Apple TV/Homepod and thread

I have a ATV4K 1st gen ( no thread) and also a HomePod Mini (with Thread). In Homekit the active hub is the ATV and the HomePod mini is stand-by….not what I want. Can I force the ATV to stay stand-by??

Can Apple TV choose a HomePod as it's fixed/default sound output and have it "stick"? Can Apple TV choose a HomePod as it's fixed/default sound output and have it "stick"? It is very frustrating as I keep having to open setting EVERY time I turn it back on....I bough a 4k monitor to run my Apple TV 4K off but it refuses to co-operate with the HomePod....let alone that without any built in speakers on the monitor the "sync" function will not work so I have to restart the AppleTV once or twice to get the screen synced with the sound....grrrrrr SOOOOOO not Apple-Like

Apple TV migrating to HomeKit Mini I had HomeKit turned on for my Apple TV and it's been working great. However, I bought a HomePod Mini to dedicate as a hub. Everything appears to be working at the moment after I installed the HomePod Mini. Upside or downside on leaving them both up and running without making any changes to the Apple TV? Do I need to turn OFF the HomeKit Hub w/in the Apple TV now that I've installed the HomePod Mini? Can I keep them both on as HomeKit hubs? Thanks in advance.
