Hello!
I'm quite new to NowTV and loving it so far!
My question is a simple one no doubt... Is Sky Cinema on NowTV broadcast in 5.1 surround sound?
I'm considering subscribing to that alongside my Entertainment Pass but don't want to unless I can watch films in 5.1.
Also, while I'm here... do any of the Entertain Pass channels broadcast in 5.1? I'm struggling to get any to work if they do, and if they do, it could be that my box settings are wrong.
Oh, and for the record, yes, I do have a 5.1 capable box etc. I was a Sky+ HD subscriber until recently, I got fed up with paying £80 a month!
All help appreciated,
R.

Hi @Anonymous User
All NowTV passes including movies is currently in 2 channel stereo only

Great, thanks. That was my fear. I get that Sky Q is their premium service and they offer more to the subscribers of that such as 4K and surround sound, but if I'm paying for it with NowTV surely a similar level of service isn't too much to ask for?
It's annoying enough that the Entertainment channels are only 2 channel... movies only being 2 channels is almost unforgivable!

Your will struggle to find anybody on the forum. That doesn't agree with you on the audio front @Anonymous User I can perhaps understand why the linear/live channels are stereo only, but I agree that OnDemand content should be 5.1

Hi @Anonymous User
Nowtv have mentioned in a recent press release that 1080p is coming to their streaming service by the end of the year, what is worrying was that nothing was said about 5.1 surround sound (hopefully 5.1 surround sound will be part of the 1080p upgrade spec)
I avoid watching anything on my Home Cinema Projector AV system from NowTV until 1080p Dolby 5.1 surround sound is added to their service.
