I wasn't trying to take anything away from Hulu for supporting WebOS with 5.1. I was just surprised they support so few devices with 5.1 overall.As the Title states Hulu DOES Support more than two game consoles with 5.1:
In addition to being an exquisite set that supports HDR10 and DV, my LG 65 OLED came with WebOS as its Smart TV offering. I have been pleasantly surprised at how capable it is. I even have Amz Prime and G Play Movies/TV on the same box plus a "world" of channels, apps, and programming i didn't know existed.
- PlayStation 4 (all models)
- Xbox One (all models)
- LG TV (WebOS 3.0 and above)
The main point of the post was to point out Hulu IS moving forward and to tip off LG owners with WebOS 3.0 + they now had Hulu in 5.1.
Baby steps?I wasn't trying to take anything away from Hulu for supporting WebOS with 5.1. I was just surprised they support so few devices with 5.1 overall.
Steps with regard to the 5.1 rollout.... Maybe they are beta testing, Dish style....Hulu is almost 10 years old. Hardly a baby anymore.
I understood your meaning. I just don't understand what is taking so long. It isn't like their competitors just added it or something. Netflix is adding Dolby Atmos while Hulu is finally getting around to 5.1 on a limited number of devices and shows.Steps with regard to the 5.1 rollout....

I hear that! In the same vein, CBS All Access is 2.0 as well. I might think about it if they were 5.1....I understood your meaning. I just don't understand what is taking so long.

Yes! Absolutely. I did actually sub to watch the new Star Trek, and it was annoying to only get 2 channel stereo, especially when the pilot was broadcast in 5.1 OTA. Why anything professionally produced is available with less than 5.1 audio these days is a mystery to me.I hear that! In the same vein, CBS All Access is 2.0 as well.

You might think that the lesson of the original Terminator (monaural audio track) may not be so easily forgotten.Why anything professionally produced is available with less than 5.1 audio these days is a mystery to me.
^This. 10-15 years ago, people who wanted an inexpensive theater-like surround sound were picking up home-theater-in-a-box setups for ~$200; some even combined the DVD player. I talked a couple of girlfriends at the time into getting one (if they ever wanted me to come to their home for "movie night"I blame crappy sound bars in leaving them an out.
Star Trek Discovery has 5.1? That was not the case previously. What device are you watching on?I watched 11-22-63 on Hulu a few years back. It looked very good, the sound, meh. Later I bought a bluray of the same program. OMG the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack was spectacular! I am now watching Castle Rock. Once again, picture looks great, sound, meh. I'll be buying the bluray first out....
That said, and to continue CBS All Access, I am doing a weeklong trial on it right now. It looks very good. Sound on Live and On Demand is stereo and not so good. I do notice that the Originals, Star Trek and the like have 5.1 sound!
AppleTV 4K. My Denon shows Multi Channel and my Denon app shows the same, 5.1 in and out. Now, I don’t hear anything coming out of the rears so it may well be stereo with sub on. I’ve got to play with it more.Star Trek Discovery has 5.1? That was not the case previously. What device are you watching on?
OK. Interesting. It was definitely 2.0 out of my Roku Premier+ into my Pioneer when I watched.AppleTV 4K. My Denon shows Multi Channel and my Denon app shows the same, 5.1 in and out.
