I wonder how much extra bandwidth this'll take ?

And yet, last I checked Showmax doesn't even do 5.1 audio.

I think I've heard that ... so 720 / stereo while Netflix is UHD/HDR Dolby Atmos

Fit them on the wall or replace the surrounds and centre with additional upward facing options.

Or replace the whole lot with Atmos Soundbar.

Shouldn’t use dramatically more bandwidth.

It’s after all more about the object based processing than the actual fidelity that changes.

It’s mostly still the same “amount” of sound.

Is an extra two channels...

Sound bars can never replace properly positioned speakers. I could get an upward firing pair to sit on my fronts but even that feels like a compromise

Just for interests sake, what is the size of your TV, your viewing distance from the TV and the distance from your viewing area to your back surround speakers?

47, 4m, about 4m I guess.

Too expensive. The soundbar is 25k.
