BT TV Box Pro - comments/questions

[voles]

Yes, sadly.

I'm in IP mode here and although channel 1, 2 and 3 are switch to 2.0 - it seems most HD channels are switching to 5.1 even though some don't even use it.

ITV3HD switches to 5.1 - as do BT Sport 1, 2 and 3.  No ITV channel uses 5.1.

The current recorded programmes on the BT Sport channels are not switching to 5.1 on other platforms - even though they do on some programmes. 

BT Sport 1-3 are all 5.1 on BT box so it seems either the switching is wrong or the feed is wrong.

BT Sport Ultimate is 2.0 currently - but that is same elsewhere for the loop.

Interesting @scharter - it's now being claimed as having been fixed a while ago - when watching a 2.0 stream, it should be flagged as such. Are you still experiencing issues?

Software updates are announced here: https://support.youview.com/youview-box/software-updates/

They usually contain mention of the high level features that have been fixed. I don't know what version they're claiming it was fixed in though, as the bug hasn't been tagged with that info.

Typically Youview will announce in their updates what  launched new features (if any) are in the release . As for faults fixed they normally only announce  fixes to faults raised and acknowledged on their own community posts.

It's definitely working for me. 

Bbc1 amp shows 2.0 dd+

Sky cinema (Harry Potter) amp shows 5.1 dd+

Ensure you don't have any up mixing on like dolby surround, dts:x neural or something else. 

Edit: some channels still pump out as 5.1 when it's 2.0. As mentioned 

[voles]

I can confirm that bbc 1 is 2.00 at the moment.

difficult to find any 5.1 except for Netflix which sends out atmos still.

no atmos on prime video of course.

Still - an improvement!

[biohazardx9]

@voles look for the new lord of the rings series on prime. That has atmos track.

It should pick it up 

[SRB]

Yup, working on my box too - must have updated in the last few days.

The Accountant at 10.40pm on Wednesday on BBC1 should be 5.1.

@voles you are spot on.

Rings of power says atmos but my amp shows dolby surround still.

Netflix does atmos fine. 

As does bt sport ultimate
