I am surprised that Roku dropped the ball so seriously when it comes to 7.1 HD Audio, does anyone know if the Roku 4 and Ultra have the physical hardware to pass the audio through? is a firmware update all that's need?
The Roku, is a wonderful device, small and compact, with an excellent design that easily integrated into a media setup, but the lack of 7.1 passthrough to a receiver is a big fail.
