My Marantz AV receiver is two years old and does not have Atmos processing but I agree that the demo's sound extremely good and they are very "spacious" sounding. My Marantz confirms it is receiving DD+ audio on the demos.

Try waching / listening to the Atmos Black Sails episode and then go back and watch the normal episode, the sounds of the waves and cannon fire stand out much more, even with my non-Atmos setup.
Here's hoping that Comcast will soon adopt this sound format for all programming.
