Hi all, I have a few questions around a 4k fire stick that I can't figure out.
1. In the settings of the fire stick, there is a choice between adaptive or always HDR. When in adaptive, and I go into a 4k series on Prime, such as Bosch, the screen flashes up the notification that it is switching to HDR.
When I have it set to always HDR, when I start Bosch, it comes up with the Dolby Vision notification. Why is this and which is the better option?
2. Only have a 5.1 set up, but receiver is Atmos capable, is it still better to have the Atmos soundtrack rather than the 5.1 soundtrack? I am planning to add Atmos speakers quite soon.
3. In Amazon Prime via the fire stick, various programmes, eg Jack Ryan, used to output the Atmos soundtrack, but this no longer happens. Still getting Atmos from Disney + but not from Prime. Also Apple TV is the same, I know Netflix won't give Atmos via 4k stick, but Prime used to but doesn't any more? If I use the TV's built in apps, I can get the Atmos soundtrack, but it would be much easier to get it all via the fire stick, because I am controlling the whole system with a Harmony Hub and remote, and using the native TV apps, the harmony doesn't seem to have the function to get the TV to put Prime or Netflix on?
4. I only really have the fire stick for access to foreign sports channels from Canada that cannot be watched here, so if an Apple TV would give me Atmos from Appletv+ Disney, Prime and Netflix, then would definitely think about buying one of them, as it would also give me access to Apple Music as well?
Long winded, so thanks to anyone that can help with even some of this.
