Why won't HDMI pass 5.1? This doesn't make sense to me.Hopper 3 on Netflix will only pass 5.1 if you use an optical cord, HDMI is in 2 channel stereo.
Dish and hdmi will pass 5.1 but when an app is involved optical is the only way to bypass any peocessing.Why won't HDMI pass 5.1? This doesn't make sense to me.
I'm just shooting from the hip but my understanding is that is exactly what it does and that is why we only get stereo, because it has been decoded. If you want the coded signal for your avr to decode you need optical. My GUESS IS the makers of your blue ray have elected to not decode app audio.So the Hopper 3 couldn't decode the 5.1 stream and send it via HDMI in Uncompressed PCM?
I guess I still don't understand. My Blu-Ray player has the Netflix app and sends the 5.1 signal to the surround sound receiver via HDMI.
Yeah, you and me both. I even updated my Netflix account from $9.99/month to $14.99/month to get 4K because I tested the Joey 4K OnDemand content. It worked fine. Then, I tried it the other day, and they've turned on this HDCP 2.2 crap. So, I have paid to upgrade to the Hopper 3, paid $50 to upgrade to the 4K Joey and pay $5 more per month for Netflix for absolutely no reason. I can guarantee you that, even though the Joey 4K eventually will support 4K from Netflix, it won't work on my non-HDCP 2.2 4K TV. Yet, none of this is explained when upgrading.So I paid $50 extra for the Hopper 4K and it still does not have Netflix, yet they are working on an update already to Netflix for the Hopper 3 to do 4K and released it.
This just does not seem right.
Wonder if I can get some kind of credit off of the $50, they said Netflix would work on Feb 18th when you click on it, now it just says soon. I spent the $50 based on that information at the time and the screen shot showing it said it was coming in Feb, now its what, April?
I am sure others out there like me are not happy. A $10 programing credits seem like the right thing to do
This seems to be your mantra in many threads recently. Look, if you are interested in a credit, you should call and ask for one. I'm sure you didn't want the Joey 4K primarily for Netflix, or did you?I am sure others out there like me are not happy. A $10 programing credits seem like the right thing to do
What about HDR? But the thought of adding another cable to the TV and then crawling on my hands and knees to attach it to the back of the receiver is not inviting to this guy. Guess I'll just continue to use the Sony Netflix button.Hopper 3 on Netflix will only pass 5.1 if you use an optical cord, HDMI is in 2 channel stereo.

As far as the Non HDCP TV's. Looks like another new 4K TV purchase is in the cards?
Netflix is available on this 4KTV, but they haven't updated the Netflix app to include 4K. Apparently, Netflix 4K is streamed using H.265 and this TV only decodes H.264. So, even if they did update the app, it wouldn't stream 4K Netflix using the native app. That's why I was so looking forward to Dish's implementation of 4K Netflix on the Joey 4K. But that hasn't happened and it likely won't work because it'll be HDCP 2.2 (which my 4K TV doesn't have.)Is there a 4K tv that is not a smart TV? On that line of thinking wouldn't Netflicks be available on the set as well? Good Luck
Well, you did buy a 4K tv way too prematurely.Seriously? I get a $6,000 4KTV in 2014 and the answer (just 2 years later) to copy protection is, just go buy a new TV? Here's the kicker: This TV is 100% compatible with the 4K signal if it weren't for a new HDCP that the studios are forcing broadcasters to implement and pass onto paying consumers.

I think the HD Fury might be my only answer. Time Warner can sue them or me all they want. I won't be pirating anything. Just using what is rightfully mine to use.
