No found episode and nothing need help with setting up on Puck and TV

Dolby Atmos is only really relevant if you have a Dolby Atmos enabled sound bar or, better still, an A/V receiver with multiple surround sound speakers attached to it. 

If you are just attaching your puck to a TV and using the TV speakers then Dolby Atmos is not worth worrying about as you will not hear any benefit of it via small TV speakers. 

Just set the audio output on the puck settings to Auto.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more

Dolby Atmos content is limited, and available on a selection of on-demand films and Sky TV shows ( you will see the Dolby Atmos icon on a show or film's programme page, similar to the HD or UHD icon. If you subscribe to the premium tiers of things like Netflix or Disney +, that makes the dolby atmos version of some of their content available.

If you find the first episode of Game of Thrones, it should have the Dolby Atmos badge displayed on the programme details (assuming you have the UHD & Atmos add-on pack as part of your subscription). Assuming your Puck can successfully identify a Dolby Atmos capable sound system attached to it via HDMI, you should get Atmos sound when playing shows/films/events badged as Atmos.

 

Is your LG TV or soundbar/AV receiver (if attached) capable of playing Atmos soundtracks?
