I think as far as CB goes, that is probably standalone. The ATV likely won’t know if you are using CB or not. I think CB is designed to work on its own inside the AirPods Pro without regards to whether you are talking to another person, watching TV, listening to the radio, etc. You pretty much toggle it on/off as you need it. Hopefully it can help clarify TV dialog as well as live human dialog.
On the other hand, SA will require a handshake between the AirPods Pro and ATV 4K. Supposedly the U1 chip in the AirPods Pro will signal the ATV 4K when you are sitting in front of the TV so it can make the audio seem to be emanating from appropriate directions around you. How well that handshake works is anyone’s guess. As far as that goes, it is anyone’s guess as to whether SA will live up to the hype. However, I doubt SA will even be usable with my 2.1 soundbase, so I’m not going to get excited about it.
