Telefonica announced that it has incorporated Dolby Digital Plus into its Movistar+ television services, allowing users with home cinema (5.1 or 7.1) or compatible sound bar to enjoy crystal-clear surround sound to accompany video content from the Movistar+ premium TV and movie catalogue.
This update, which is already available, will help bring to life any film, series or television program that has Dolby Audio. Telefonica said that the Dolby Audio will be available for both main programs broadcast on Movistar HD channels (#0 and CANAL+ film and series related channels) and on-demand content including series, films and documentaries. New content with Dolby sound will progressively be incorporated to improve this immersive experience for users.
The movies and TV series available with Dolby Audio are identifiable with a Dolby Audio symbol in the content information as well as each channel’s extended information, said Telefonica.

The enhanced audio now available will help users escape, deep into the story unfolding in front of them.
