Netflix- No HDR?

[gary7]

Recently went back to watch some shows on Netflix that I know used to be HDR. They are not now. Anyone notice this too?

Could you mention the shows that are the ones you speak so someone who uses Netflix could check?

Lost in Space reboot, Series of Unfortunate Events, Stranger Things and some others.

Can't help you with Sony, but I can tell you that on Roku, I tried Unfortunate Events, and that didn't show up in HDR. Then I picked a couple of shows at random (don't remember which) that were marked as HDR; one played in HDR, one didn't. So it's not just you.

Then you guys wonder why I stick with DVD discs. They don't change on a whim. The Satellite networks and live TV folks aren't consistent and they often compromise the sound as well as the video. Digital or not.

I agree, twiiii..

Only a partial, been considerably added to since picture was taken ~4 yrs ago.

I have a FIOS connection for my cable TV. The same local stations off the air look better than what FIOS delivers.

Not surprising. I've seen it discussed on at least one forum (possibly AVS Forum, don't think it was here) that Verizon further compresses broadcast signals. I believe that may be common for most cable providers.

I had the exact same complaint!!! Why did HDR and even HD offerings disappear? I was kinda annoyed, ok I was angry. I went through the settings and even wound up calling them.

It was pretty embarrassing... my wife changed our package thinking she was saving us money because she didn't know what any of those acronyms meant...

Check with your wife.

There is not much content that interests me enough to own it. I have a small stack of BDs mainly for showcase but, again, not that much I care to watch time and again to own a huge library.

So, what streaming offers is mostly what I'll be seeing. As someone alluded to earlier, there is variance in what devices pass what content on any given provider. What you get with a given combination doesn't inherently mean you'll get the same with a different mix of device and provider, or even the same device on a different provider. It's what has been negotiated behind the scenes.
