Your service needs to be able to support surround sound. All other services provide this, yet yours does not. Im on a free trial, and unfortunatley wont be renewing due to this. The movie choices and access to channels is really neat and HD quality is pretty good, but the sound is a major let down when considering your main rivals all offering this...
Surround sound is to audio what HD is to video. Netflix have had 5.1 audio since launch, Xbox Video has 5.1, and LoveFilm are apparently rolling out 5.1 soon.
So my question is, when you guys start pushing 5.1 Dolby Digital to the Xbox?
Agreed! The omission of surround sound is curious.
Agreed again, sound really lets this service down
When are we going to be able to hear the movies in 5.1 surround sound, that really lets watching a great movie down.
ON THE PS3 HAVE 5.1 DOLBY VIA OPT THE ONLY THING THERE IS NO
SURROUND TRACK HAVE SURROUND ON NETFLEX LOVE FILM
Why is there no 5.1. Dolby Surround on the movies? Its the year 2013 so i would of expected this to be a standard thing supplied with the Sky services since you can get it from Netflix and Love Film. If this isn't updated then i'm going to cancel my subscription.
Forgot to mention, i'm watching the movies on my X-Box 360.
Strongly agree, Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound is a must!
Because SKY had a slogan.
Want HD and 5.1 audio get a SKY+HD box.
They have now changed it to want HD and Dolby Digital plus audio then get it exclusively on a Sky+HD box...
The other services are not going to catch up...
For online streaming the services are moving to HE-AAC 5.1 audio this is not compatable with optical and was created to replace DVD codecs including DTS and DD. it won't down sample to DD5.1 only PCM 5.1 on equipment...
