Apple TV 4k(2021) BT Sport App

[trevdigital]

Is BT Sport Ultimate on the Apple TV 4K(2021) app only able to output PCM 2.0?

Seem to have lost the Ultimate channel on BTTV but the BT Sport HD 1 is in DD+.

I have the same issue... Only 2.0 PCM... Atmos working fine with other apps... 

Any update from anyone on this?

It would normally be in DD 5.1 or Atmos, however there's currently an incompatibility between multi channel audio and the Pro Player (which shows you the event timeline and allows you to rewind matches) only affecting Apple devices.

As Pro Player is more commonly used, multi channel audio has temporarily been disabled.

We're awaiting a fix to our encoders to sort this - the current expectation is that it'll be a few weeks.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I assume that the issue with multi channel sound is not available on the Apple TV app any more.  The list of atmos being available on Apple TV 4K should be updated to say PCM 2.0 only.

We're testing the fix just now to bring multi-channel audio (including Atmos) back to Apple TV ... fingers crossed!

@DarrenDev don’t know if you know, but will BT Sport move toward the 720p streams of DAVN or will they adopt and buy in the BT technology.  The multi channel/Atmos question might be a moot point.

Can i ask for an update on multi channel audio please? I am still getting pcm 2.0 

Thanks 

[DarrenDev]

No update at the moment I'm afraid. We go into service protection tomorrow for Christmas, meaning no changes can be made until January, so there won't be any fix before then.

About time that you update the pinned thread about atmos/multi-channel enabled devices and remove Apple TV all gens. Will save you repeated enquiries.

Hi, is there any update on when atmos will be available again on apple tv?
