Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay

Streaming in Atmos for Netflix, HBOMax and Disney+ sucks for me.  I have a 5.1.2 setup, and on Netflix the Atmos dialogue is in my right front speaker, and for HBOMax and Disney+ it can't decode.  I have a Samsung Q900TS, running through a Pioneer VSX-LX503, all firmware has been updated, but I can't get it to work.  Frustrated.

That said, physical media has much fuller, more robust sound than streaming.  Watching Batman Begins on HBOMax and then popping in my 4K disc they dialogue and sound effects are much louder and clearer on the disc.

@gdog04 funny, I just started Batman Begins on Vudu a little while ago!  Working from home ya know?

Sounds like you have other problems somewhere in your system if you're not decoding Atmos properly though.  

Atmos works great for me on Netflix, HBOmax, Disney+, Vudu, Amazon etc.  This is through a Marantz av7705 processor and Samsung Frame tv.

So I'm considering the Marantz SR7015, any chance that might fix my issues?

@dtximages...yes the joys of working from home! Just got the remastered version of Batman v Superman so I’m going to throw that on. I just upgraded my speakers to B&W 600 series in ceiling (my wife wanted clean sight lines in our living room), with the Anniversary series center channel and subwoofer. I didn’t upgrade my receiver and now I’m sorry I didn’t. I get a popping sound inside of Netflix and HBOMax when moving through the menus, very annoying.

I stream and I also rent 4K Atmos disks. I currently have a high quality 5.1.4 system that I will soon upgrade. Streaming Atmos from Apple TV+, HBO Max, Netflix and Prime, Disney is excellent. I have a fiber optic ethernet connection so speed is not an issue. When I know a movie has a very high quality Atmos sound track I will rent the disk and disks are better but it does not mean that streaming is not excellent
