Is it possible to get Dolby Atmos audio on any streaming services, such as Netflix or Prime, in the UK?

I have a 2020 LG OLED TV (77CX6LA) and a Sonos ARC sound-bar (plus two One SLs for surround sound; no sub...yet) and Netflix Premium Ultra HD (with data usage set to high) but I can't see/find any content that has the Dolby Atmos logo on Netflix or Prime. Netflix say "If you have a Dolby Atmos capable system and a plan that supports streaming in Ultra HD, available titles will display a Dolby Atmos icon next to their description" but all I ever see is either a Dolby Vision logo, HD logo or other 'non-Atmos' logo.

Similarly, Amazon Prime is/was supposed to have some content with Atmos (such as Jack Ryan) but that also seems to have disappeared (https://www.avforums.com/news/has-amazon-prime-video-dropped-dolby-atmos.17848)

Am I missing something?

Netflix definitely has Dolby Atmos and Vision content. As an example, Altered Carbon has both. Your LG TV supports both formats, does your soundbar? Netflix only shows the formats the devices you’re using can support

The Sonos ARC definitely supports Atmos; I'll have a look at Altered Carbon when I get home....does it show both the Dolby Vision AND Dolby Atmos logos on the title page?

Yes, right next to the Vision logo. You’re using the built in LG Netflix app right?

Think Disney+ The Mandolorian is streamed in Dolby Atmos.

You can also search for’Atmos’ within Netflix/Prime to bring up content recorded in that format.

Fixed it! Thanks for all of the help!

Turns out I needed to enable ‘Connect via eARC’ which was buried in a sub menu...
