Netflix no Dolby Atmos Vision Rip off

I have posted on here about this issue and looking at other posts others have same problem. I don't know how EE can push a subscription saying you will get an enhanced experience by PAYING EXTRA when it DOES NOT WORK.

I complained to ee and they said I cannot leave my present package [BB/TV]. It is a complete con. Thankfully I was due to change my mobile to ee next month but won't be bothering now. I am going to make a formal complaint and take this matter further. As other have said, NO ATMOS only 5.1dd NO ATMOS PICTURE only 4k. My tv/Denon amp/and Philips tv/ Panasonic Blu Ray all work with Netflix as it should do. It does do Netflix HDR and that is it, no ATMOS/VISION via ee pro box.

I have cancelled my subscription as it is a pain to have to come out of ee pro box turn off, switch to either tv or blu ray player switch amp over. My Wife can't do all this and why should she. I find it stressful myself. I would rather go without it hence my cancellation. I have kindly been informed I can do nothing until my contract is up in 2026 Happy new year thank you.

And don't get me started on the aerial connection. I have had to stick the cable to the box with Gorilla tape. The fitting is very poor and was constantly losing connection. [new Aeriel / cable]. 18/1/25 11.45pm Blank screen nothing not even any apps. Had to turn off leave power off for several minutes turn back on, all ok. What a performance. And this is now our 3rd box over the past 3 years. 2 x bt pro 1 x ee pro. I can't use the other method of having it all online as pathetically you can only watch one record one. Of no use to me at all. The system is not fit for purpose.

I think most people will review their situation at the end of their TV contract. 

I really like the apple TV device but as I'm an android user predominantly I might check out the Google streamer next February or see if anything else comes out before then...

At the start of this yr we made a huge (for us) jump from android (Pixels) and Google Home to Apple - phones, TV, music, cloud - and Alexa - speakers, plugs, display. The phones haven’t been a total success but otherwise we’ve never regretted the jump. Google just began to irritate the hell out of me with the constant changes. But I’ll keep an eye on what they’re going.

I’m getting mixed up with my price plans and support for them in EETV.

Apologies.

The older I get the more I lean to commonality and “just works “ - and I do like the latter with Apple. 

But I’ll always be interested in what’s happening 👍

Side note on Netflix, they said today on an investors call that they are raising prices again this year with Premium going up by $2 to $24.99 in the US.

Wont be long until it hits £19.99 here then I suspect. 

@Minkey1 

You said;

NF Premium and Now Ultra aren’t available on the EE TV platform, but then, EE doesn’t say they are. IMO, “enhanced” in a marketing context is meaningless.

But I have Netflix Premium on EETV :-

 Agreed about Now Ultra, though.

Thanks for that - now I know what Spatial Audio is.

But it doesn’t explain why the same Netflix account, used on the same TV, provides Dolby Atmos from the Netflix app on the TV, but only(?) Spatial Audio from the Netflix app on the Box Pro.

Perhaps it’s something to do with the TV not being attached to anything that can play 5.1? I will have an investigate on the one TV that does, later today.

You have been around YouView long enough to know that no apps ever work quite the same on their platform as they do anywhere else! 😉

Yes. Just been reading same. No UK increase last yr, so something will come.

Not finding the ads *too* intrusive so far, but weirdly, NF volume seems lower. Doesn’t affect TV/apps or any other source.
