TNT Sports Atmos

I have Virgin 360 box. Does TNT Sports Ultimate on channel 525 no longer broadcast in Dolby Atmos? Watched Charity Shield last week and Villa game today no Atmos. HD channel has 5.1 audio. Anyone getting Atmos on Ultimate.

    AFAIK, it's only selected programmes, not all programmes.

    Dolby Atmos is not broadcast reliably by VM for a technical reason but, not that it will help you, I think it's more reliable on Stream.

      The sound is somewhat worse on Stream than the V6 box I used to have, one of the more minor ways is that there is no Dolby Atmos on the UHD sports channels on Stream.

      That sounds like an end of episode or series so you need to watch the next one to find the answer which is what?

        Perusing the Sky and BT community forums, and also Reddit going back two years, and the lack of Dolby Atmos on the Ultimate channel seems to be recurring point of complaint, particularily since the switch to TNT Sports.

        It also seems to be an issue, although to a lesser extent for those  using the Discovery+ app.  When it was BT Sports it was the norm, especially for European Football, however now it's very unreliable and seems to be even more selective in the events that they do decide to broadcast  in Dolby Atmos.  Yet they usually manage to broadcast DA on channel 521, as they did with todays match.
