Unfortunately, since the Apple TV doesn't have support for Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio, neither Atmos or DTS X will work. It uses metadata in the streams to activate the extra channels and other nifty stuff. That's why legacy blu-ray players (that support bitstreaming, mind you) work with Atmos and DTS X.
Audio Formats
HE-AAC (V1), AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1
According to ApplevSupport document Apple TV Specs section:
Dolby Digital Plus isn't the same thing as Dolby True HD. Digital Plus is a higher bitrate stream than regular Dolby Digital, but it's still lossy. True HD is a lossless stream, so it holds quite a bit more information than Plus does. The Apple TV doesn't support native Dolby True HD.
Then contact Apple Feedback page and suggest the new Dolby True HD!
I would absolutely love that, as I have an Atmos receiver myself, but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. The streams for True HD and DTS X are much larger than Digital Plus, so it's not really ideal for streaming. We can hope, though!![]()
VUDU now supports Dolby Atmos on some of their 4K streams, so there is precident for streaming with a higher audio quality that Dolby Digital.
Yes, there definitely is, and it's made me consider getting a Roku 4. But all of these things are in their infancy right now, just like 1080p was (and still is for broadcast), so it will change as time goes on. As ISPs get better and bandwidth increases, I'm sure we'll see more providers using lossless codecs for streaming.
To correct you over the Air is 1080i NOT 1080p!![]()
