After providing the first multichannel audio solution to Netflix streaming for the PS3 on October 18, Dolby Laboratories has announced a partnership today with Sonic Solutions to deliver 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus through the RoxioNow entertainment platform.
Also known as CinemaNow, the RoxioNow service is a partnership with retailers such as Best Buy, Blockbuster, Kmart, and Sears that streams film and television content for rental, with the option to download permanently as a purchase. Streamed or downloaded content can be played on a variety of devices including Windows PCs, RoxioNow equipped HDTVs or Blu-ray Players, smart phones such as the iPhone, and the X-Box 360.
