Tivo Stream 4K Audio Output issues & observations...

AFAIK its not working on netflix and I would guess Disney+ as well. We're hopefully going to get an update to fix this. I recommend reading the post history of this tivo employee to get an idea of what will (hopefully be coming)

Due to some type of a compatibility issue, the Xbox one and x have Dolby Atmos locked down to being permanently enabled. This will mislead you about Atmos. Things that should be in Atmos show as Atmos as well as things that are not. I used the same logic to try and figure out where my Dolby Atmos went on my Fire Cube, Fire Stick 4K and Stream 4K on Amazon Prime. Pretty sure it's not me. I think Amazon rolled back bandwidth by downgrading their Atmos selections. Here's what I found: Normal Amazon Prime series (Jack Ryan etc) now come up as DD+. The Prime movies Honey Boy and Aeronauts come up as Dolby Atmos. Proves to me that Atmos works on my system (still), that Prime still has Atmos but not on the selections that used to. A lot of troubleshooting to figure this out. Amazon should just say they've eliminated most Atmos. I had 2 Stream 4K units but they wore me down and I returned them. If they ever fix everything its going to be a killer device.

 

Thanks so much for your detective work. Aeronauts...indeed Dolby Atmos. I havent checked but I'm sure Honey Boy will be also. Seas 1 of Jack Ryan was a few days ago. So my system functions as it should but still cant get Atmos on Netflix. Maybe my account? (Actually my nephew's so I don't have much say)

 

Netflix only provides Dolby Atmos, UHD and Vision on their highest tier (15.99 month). I've found it works well (On Fure devices). Daughter and I split the cost of the highest tier and its less than the lowest tier.

 

And now Netflix is locked up "sorry, something went wrong ".

 

Well , my Tidal account which I started 2 days ago must have taken a bit to kick in cuz now the Stream4k is putting out the Atmos. I never thought I'd pay $20 a month for music but...

 

Weird but true, this afternoon, everything on Prime that was Atmos is Atmos, once again. I'm sure no explanation is forthcoming but, I have noticed, over the past couple of weeks, the Orime interface seems to be going through some "upgrades". The UHD selections and HD selections are no longer seperate listing. There is now a little white box in the upper right hand corner of each shows icon with a 4

The hunt for UHD material is getting easier.

 

You think they'd let those of us who aren't using tv speakers that changes are coming and this ir that may not be available. Would save me a lot of worry and emails to support. This is a new receiver so naturally I'm inclined to think there something I'm missing.

 

Amazon Prime Video to get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos back soon

 

Good to know.

 

Just went to Dolbys web site. Every single show they list as being Atmos is not. Space Force? Nope. Altered Carbon? Nope. If anyone knows of ANY show on Netflix on atmos please tell me.

 

There are a lot, way more than Prime. If you are not paying Netfix 15.99 per month for their top tier, you won't get UHD, Dolby Vision or Atmos. I can't tell you if its a T4K issue because I gave up on both of mine a while back b4 the "fixes". Sorry.

 

I checked my netflix account. It is the 15.99 one so I guess I just hàve to d9 things their way.

 

One more thing... even if you are paying the highest tier, you have to go into your Netflix account under your profile and make sure that your "playback options" are set to stream at the high [UHD] selection.

I'm sure you've already checked this but, be sure your audio settings on the Stream are set to auto.

Og course you already know that all of the components of your home theater must be Dolby Atmos capable. There are so many "gotchas " for all of the dolby vusion, atmos, uhd, 4k etc.

Are you getting anything on Amazon Prime in Atmos.... for example: the movie Aeronauts?

How to use Netflix on TiVo to use Netflix on TiVo

 

Yes. The 3 shows that were listed (jack ryan, aeronauts and honey something or other) all had atmos. The Tidal music app consistently does atmos. I'm confident I am getting atmos where available. I have read that netflix cut their bandwidth when the whole world started streaming simultaneously.
