I've been wanting to post about 7.1

Posted by grantv on March 13, 2009 at 07:04:23:
Done many searches, many searches don't support the . in 7.1 so end up fruitless....
So I wonder, is there any . in having a 7.1 system? I've yet to rent a movie listed as 7.1 surround. And as much as Transporter 3 might have it, I'd have to (just my way) rent 1 and 2 first before 3. That's 3-5 weeks of renting movies for me. :) Generally I do like this type of movie but Transporter movies just never hit my system, there's always been a better off the Blockbuster shelf choice for me thus far.
I've gone to blu-ray.com to look up movie releases with 7.1 and they are few and far between. The ones that are listed as such mostly don't interest me (Hellboy, etc).
Is the blu-ray site up to date? Anybody else wonder the same? I've actually considered splitting the output from the 5.1 rear outs and running it into both rear amps/speaker sets. At least that way I'd hear something out of them. Crazy?
