What you have to look at is what sort of programs actually benefit from surround sound, with most shows the picture that is infront of you is all there is going on, there's nothing going on behind you for you to be getting sound from, so you've only go sound coming from the front. With most TV it's like looking out of the window, you don't expect to look out the window and hear things going on behind you from things that you can see happening out the window do you? You just expect to be getting normal stereo sound.

It's pointless doing 5.1 sound just for the sake of 5.1 sound when it makes no sense in the context of the program.
Well said

most amps up 2.1 to 5.1 anyway
