Try playing Game of Thrones or The Last Of Us in UHD,or UHD+HDR, both part of the basic Sky Entertainment & Netflix pack. Once playing, click the three dot '...' button on your remote control. You should see the Dolby Atmos badge on the screen overlay.

Most recent films have Atmos soundtracks, but by no means all. Sky themselves do not mark their shows and movies as having Dolby Atmos in the way they do with UHD & HDR.

if you pay for the top UHD 4K tier for Netflix, they do badge their content as being in Dolby Atmos along with HDR10 and/or Dolby Vision. Disney+ do the same with their content as part of their Premium tier. Amazon Prime do too if you pay for their monthly £2.99 ad-free tier (eg Rings of Power)

Untrue. Sky themselves DO mark their shows and movies as having Dolby Atmos in the way they do with UHD & HDR.

Must be a relatively new thing - most welcome though! As well as allowing people to see at a glance whether Atmos is featured or not, it gives Sky's platform parity with Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime,. Netflix and every other streamer who prominently flag Atmos content.

Thanks for the heads up 👍

Took them long enough to add that Atmos logo!!

Just because you chose it as an example, as a public service announcement can I implore everyone to never watch the abomination that is Madame Web. It's by far one of the worst movies of the past few years.

This was probably a better example!
