Dolby atmos

I’ve just got the virgin stream box, and subbed to sky sports uhd. Just wanted to check, should this be on Dolby atmos too? Thanks

    Hi daveyglen39 

    Not all programs are broadcast in Dolby Atmos. 

    Channel 532 (Sky Sports Main Event) and channel 534 (Sky Sports Football) are both currently showing the Everton v Brentford game.  It's in Dolby Atmos on both channels (the dolby atmos generally doesn't kick in during ad breaks)

    The current program on channel 533 (Sky Sports F1 UHD) isn't broadcast in Dolby Atmos.

    TNT Sports Ultimate and Sky Sports UHD broadcast in Dolby Atmos - but not always. I'm not aware of any offficial explanation why you can get DA for some football matches but not others.

  • Got the match on main event and premier league uhd now and no Dolby atmos. FYI I do get atmos on Netflix etc.
