Pairing as TV fails 'out of compliance'; works as switches
Pairing fails when device class is tv; maintainer says STB is not a TV

Given the SkyQ box isn't a TV, it is a decoder/STB, I wouldn't necessarily expect that it could ever be compliant to a TV spec. For instance in your configuration, there is no volume control entity setup, so therefore it will not offer volume capability to the HA HomeKit integration, for it to offer that to Apple. I'll try and find out what the TV spec is for HomeKit, and see whether it is feasible to make it compliant.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
