at my old job i would see it once a week, well one of them i assume they have more than one. I think they landed at that airport in town, it would circle around, I guess training or something. edit- i always thought about sitting on the roof with a high power rifle and shooting it to see what happened lol -

did a quick search Don't Get Stampeded By The 7.1 Parade February 26th, 2006 | by Mark Fleischmann As a home theater tech critic, I spend much of my time evangelizing for surround sound. I do it unashamedly and with all my heart. I love surround sound and I want everyone else to get as much pleasure from it as I do. But I worry that a lot of people still waiting to dip a toe in the sound-field are turned off by a bunch of seemingly conflicting numbers: 5.1 and 6.1 and 7.1. I've seen this over and over with people who are just getting into home theater as a hobby. When told they have a choice of 5.1 or 6.1 or 7.1 channels, their eyes glaze over and they mumble something along the lines of: "Um, well, I guess I'll just keep my two speakers and think about it." When speaking with newbies, I've learned to discuss surround as a 5.1-channel medium, which it essentially is, and leave it at that. Why bug people with a choice that most would rather not make? The expansion of the 5.1-channel standard was born in the moviehouse, where it's easier to cover a large space with surround effects if you add a back channel served by speakers in the back of the house. In film exhibition, 6.1- and 7.1-channel systems make sense. At home, however, 5.1 channels are quite enough. It's easy to generate a solid soundfield in a small space with three speakers in front and two on the rear of the side walls. To me it's self-evidently nonsensical to have four surround speakers outnumbering the three in front. Your family's attention is riveted on the screen and that's where a home surround system should deliver most of its firepower. Adding more channels gives your surround receiver more work to do. That's never a good thing. Despite the "100 watts per channel" specs you see in spec sheets, the majority of surround receivers measure at more like 35. So when an action-movie soundtrack swells up, it drives the receiver into clipping. This might sound like a slight deflating of dynamics. Or the sound may get harsher as it gets louder. In the worst-case scenario, the receiver overheats and shuts down. If you don't like what you hear when you turn up the volume, clipping is what you're hearing. There are two ways to minimize clipping. One is to dump your receiver for separate components

i know your're doing 5.1, but to answer your question there's very limited content available in 7.1 this is what i was telling him, most dvd's are only encoded for 5.1 so your channels are just split, seems kind of pointless, when I did some research a while back it just seems like 6.1 and 7.1 is more of a marketing ploy to get you to spend money or just to say oh yea you have 5.1? Then go out and buy a 7.1 system to be better than your buddy
