Probably a bad time to sign up for the free trial if you're wanting Atmos sound.

If the stream is dark with Dolby Vision you may need to adjust your TV settings, it's a regularly complaint with DV vs HDR10.

Edit: Just checked and definitely no Atmos, checked a number of titles that have it labelled. It seems it was working earlier this morning but they've likely restricted bandwidth a bit more due to the demand.

Yes Atmos is not available currently I believe due the bandwidth throttling, it says it on the Disney + site under FAQs I think.

As much as I am not particularly for them gimping the bitrate and despite the comparison I'm seeing Vs disks looking softer it still looks good. Still doing DV and HDR10, sadly no Atmos even on the titles stated, but still sounds good. Will likely watch more of the stuff I don't care much about or can't obtain 4k discs (rogue one, pirates of Carribbean etc). Hopefully they don't gimp further.

I got a free trial code for 3 months with a chrombook I got but once I tried to redeem it said it wasn't available in the UK. Just stick with the 7 days free trial instead until I can find a way around this.

SkyQ still doesn't do HDR, do they?

Nope and it seems not even UHD either @MissChief can you shed any light on that?

Is it due to sky limiting temporarily or is this the full blown app

I assume it's the full blown app? Can you do HDR with netflix or YouTube? I've never tried but I presume not?

So as I said yesterday, they have updated the DisneyLife app with Disney+, I’ve just opened the DisneyLife app on my Samsung tv and it booted up into Disney+.

Which must have been done by Samsung. Showed on my Samsung TV as Disney+. Still 2 seperate apps in the play store and iOS and trying to log in with Disney+ credentials doesn't work. Your info about them being the same app was wrong.

It's a shame that it will be for kids only

Yeah the quality is trash on the skyQ app version.

I have been very impressed with the samsung tv app though. I watched guardians of the galaxy 1 and enjoyed it very much. Great sound, great picture.

Just watched Adventures in Babysitting, it's censored

Is everything censored on it?

Not talking about HDR, the app on skyQ is HD only, no 4k content.

Such a shame about the image quality, but bandwidth is a priority in these times.

Netflix has halved the bandwidth (15.
SomethingMbps to 7.62Mbps) so I assume it's the same on Disney+.

I believe the App is capable of UHD but I'm not 100% sure. Of course it would need to be on a UHD capable device like a newer 1TB Q box or an older 2TB, with the UHD subscription.
