Sky sports + boost no 5.1 sound

Hi, 

 

I have a skysports and boost membership but am not getting surround sound when watching any of the channels.

 

I have checked the settings and started an entertainment trial membership and the surround sound is working fine on those channels and the on demand programmes.

 

However, the sports channels will only play in stereo.

 

I am using the NOW Smart Box with 4K  connected to a yamaha av receiver

Don't know if this will work for you, where i can't check myself because my 5.1 surround sound system is out of commission.

I think it is something to do with the now TV app on the roku devices.

 

I have just tried using the now TV app on my Sony android TV and that seems to be working fine with HD and 5.1 surround sound.

 

It looks like the now TV app on the roku boxes are different
