Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Arshavin+hamster it currently does seem to be just 5.1 even though it says it has Atmos.
I have raised this elsewhere - hopefully it will get sorted but it might take some time

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out morehi @oldfella on the information for the UHD recording :
........ In 4:3 aspect ratio (2021) (240 mins) Enhanced for UHD. Available in Dolby Atmos

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@oldfella Available in Dolby Atmos only appears when you download the UHD version. If you press the i button when playing it, does say "available in Dolby Atmos" in the synopsis although it's just DD5.1. Quite a good mix, though, through a Dolby Surround processor, with good bass.
Another film looking for a consistent synopsis.

The Dolby Atmos I suspect will come with a HDR version
I sincerely hope not just the HDR version.
Hopefully they will sort it (eventually)

Hi @nigea99
Its certainly not shown anywhere until you record it.

Some might find the HDR disappointing. The film uses a muted colour pallete for a start so there won't be any benefit using rec.2020(WCG) and the film is quite contrasty as a result so apart from the odd specular highlight there won't be much difference between SDR and HDR.

Although I am only partly through, personally, I am very underwhelmed by the mix.
It seems very Centre channel biased and not as distinct as I would like (seems to me to lack both definition & separation).
Whilst I know we can be spoilt with many great Atmos tracks there are also many 5.1 mixes that blow me away - this one totally leaves me lacking - almost wondering at times if it is 5.1
In fact I would go as far to say that , for me, this is one of the poorest 5.1 mixes I have heard for a while
For Info I have a Yamaha 3060 AV processor with 7.1(.2) Speaker (Mostly KEF) set up
I know it is always subjective but I feel it could be so much better
Edit : I think the low level of the sound track doesn't help - I have re-watched a few parts with the volume (really) cranked up which definitely improves it but I am still not impressed

I can see "available in atmos" but im only getting 5.1 even with the uhd version.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreI believe the Atmos version is taking longer than hoped but will be made available when processed and checked .
Rendering UHD & Atmos content can take quite a while. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
Until then, yes, it is only in 5.1 unfortunately
19 Mar 2021 01:19 PM
They shouldn't say available in atmos if it isn't available yet. What do we do? Keep Downloaidng and checking it ? How will we know when it's available
