HBO Now - 5.1 Audio yet?

by Andrroid

Noticed there was an update on the 21st of this month (last week). Anyone have this service and can test to see if there is 5.1 audio yet?

Thanks!

What version was the update? I am running 2.0.1 on my Shield TV and it is only stereo.

I get 5.1 through the HBO Now app. I have my Shield TV plug into my AVR which plugs into my TV. I've only been using the HBO Now app since Westworld has started. My AVR reports it's getting Dolby Digital + . In the Shield TV's settings make sure Surround Sound Passthrough is turned on under the HDMI category.

According to this link, HBO Now supports Dolby Digital+ https://help.hbonow.com/app/answers/detailHBO/a_id/241

I'm not seeing it through. Anyone else?
