No 5.1 with NowTV for youview.

I have a BT DTRT4000 youview box, I have upgraded to the HD boost with 5.1 and have tried content with 5.1 ( Looking: The Movie on Sky Comedy) however it only comes though to my system as 2.0. 

However if I run Netflix on the same device with 5.1 content it will work as expected. 

I have followed your help and ensured all settings are set to ‘Surround’ in the youview settings but no luck... do you know why this isn’t working?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

If you have bought the NowTV Boost Pass on the NowTV website or via your online account it can take up to 3 hours to trigger the Boost Pass.

 

A way around this is once you have purchased the Boost Pass is to sign out and back in again on your playback device (in your case your Youview Box).

 

Also i am assuming you have gone into the Youview Box NowTV App, under My Account and under the Boost Pass change the setting from Stereo to Surround Sound.

That did it! 🙂

 

I didn’t see the boost setting in the app and it didn’t have that info on the website...

 

... you’re a legend, thanks!

Go go into the NOW TV app go down to the bottom and and you will see my account go into there and you will see see the TV boost and what you see is the TV booster and a few other things when you get to TV boosters got settings just go into there there will be stereo and Sony surrounds choose which one you want.

 just to let you know the movies might freeze even if you got in someone's around but the catch up and entertainment on demand will be ok you do put it back into stereo the entertainment programs will break up again.
