ugh, sorry. I didn't read into your descriptions enough. It was just something I noticed because I'm a big netflix user, but I stream from an Oppo BDP-103. So, yeah, the LG Netflix app may not be that great, lol.
LG / Netflix - The Center has split
Hi Everyone,
Just noticed something recently. Apparently Netflix is doing some new streaming technology or settings. I'm not sure if it's an accident or if it's a bandwidth saving idea.
Basically the 5.1 streams no longer include a center channel but have the center fed to the L&R. I've noticed this across a number of shows, but Paranormal is one.
Of course, if your HT is reasonably well set up this may be difficult to hear. Sling on the other hand has no such problems.
I'm wondering if anyone else with Netflix can confirm they have the same experience? Honestly I only noticed this because my L/R amp was off and I couldn't hear the dialogue.
