Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater PS3 Netflix

Do you remember any of the titles you watched with 5.1 DD+? I couldn't find anyone making a list on the Internet.

I watched U-571 on Netflix, sounded pretty good. I'm not familiar with DD+, but most new Blu-rays are recorded in lossless audio-DD TrueHD or DTS Master Audio.

Using the menu on the PS3, you can switch between bitstream and Linear PCM to change between the formats (DD and DD True HD) the difference is very noticeable.

Aaarrrgh. Just tried it tonight and it would not connect to my account. Then some company arrived so I had to abandon the experiment. I'll try again later. Eventually when I get it going I'd like to compare Netflix to a BRD I already have to see how noticeable the difference is.

Anybody else have trouble connecting on their PS3?

I too looked for a list on the internet. I called netflix and they said there are about 5-600 titles with surround sound right now. I asked if there was a way to search on the site or the ps3 for surround only and they said no. They said that as more devices support surround and more titles are available they would likely add it to the website as a search criteria (similar to the HD genre)

bummer, u-571 isn't a streaming option in the US.

Netflix has been experiencing trouble with their sites today. Maybe too many streaming requests now that they've made it easier?

Update - I tried gain after company left last night and my PS3 logged right in and I was streaming U571 in no time. Maybe it was because I had just created both my Netflix and Paypal accounts so they hadn't completely synced up yet? Now I just have to play with the service to understand all of my options. Thanks for the update on searching for surround titles, I won't waste time on that at least. Still curious on doing a visual high def comparo to BluRay when I have time - hopefully tonight if I can find a title that is both on Netflix and on my shelf.

You would Think someone would start a list of movies with surround sound somewhere but I haven't found it...

Here's a list, but it looks like they stopped updating it in early 2010.

Err... that list is not for Netflix.
