You will no longer get Atmos on Pixar films. Not even sure if you'll get 5.1. The 4K Pixar content has been relegated to HDR (or DV)/HD.
All of the 4K Pixar films are showing as Atmos and Dolby Vision for me.You will no longer get Atmos on Pixar films. Not even sure if you'll get 5.1. The 4K Pixar content has been relegated to HDR (or DV)/HD.
Most people here are aware of that. This has been the case since the UK D+ launch.Even if you see Atmos/UHD, you will get 5.1/11440p.
Think you’ve got the bit rates the wrong way round.Here's a comparison of bit rates between the UK and US Disney Plus services. For Ultra HD titles, the average bit rate in the UK has been reduced by more than 45%. Audio bit rates are reduced by about 67%. The good news is that the US service does stream at the full 3840 x 2160 resolution with a very healthy bit rate of up to about 17.5 Mbps. Pictures look superb. When it arrives in the UK, it's well worth waiting for!View attachment 1277846
Wait until you see the proper 4k stream. Much sharper.Those figures do explain that whilst the UK isn’t getting 4K, the bit rates are more than enough to provide a very good 1440p picture. Despite wishing it was 4K, I’ve got no complaints with the quality of the 1440p streams.
I don't know. ExpressVPN works, with dedicated firmware to a Linksys router delivering speeds of more than 50Mbps, which is more than adequate to deliver the best possible performance.Will a DNS thingy such as DNS4ME which I’ve seen mentioned allow me to access the US streams of Netflix and Disney to get full bitrate. Or do I need to setup different accounts or anything?
I can’t wait.Wait until you see the proper 4k stream. Much sharper.
I’m actually more excited for the sound improvements we will seeI can’t wait.
I watched Black Hole yesterday, for nostalgia really, it hasn’t aged well

Not sure why they are needed?The parental controls on Disney+ are seriously lacking
Not looked through everything but is it all PG and lower? Figure some of the marvel stuff is PG-13 etc and not appropriate for my kids yet.Not sure why they are needed?
what in particular would you want?
All is 12A and lower. Are you in the states?Not looked through everything but is it all PG and lower? Figure some of the marvel stuff is PG-13 etc and not appropriate for my kids yet.
