Thanks John, and Meridian.

If i read it right, we could get analogue 7.1 in, and not yet HDMI 1.3a

I can understand the argument of the bitstream input not possibility, but why not a HDMI1.1 with 8 channel PCM input. That seems less costs than 7.1 analogue (no high quality A/D converters needed) I much rather would have that than analogue. Also without MHR or whatever support.
