No no, you're absolutely right. I think right now the audio is being passed over Arc compressed so the most I get is Dolby Digital+ (I think). Though, when I use the native apps on the TV the receiver shows Dolby Atmos so I don't know what's going on there (or maybe I'm mis-remembering).
So right now it's just normal Arc because I need a firmware update to enable eArc (plus 120Hz and the AppleTV app). I'm just trying to figure out which firmware to go with because it seems like lots of folks are having lots of issues with firmware upgrades (audio loss via Arc/eArc, TV stability, etc.). And I think some of the firmware can't be backed out of. Seems like not a good time to be updating.
