Just read this in Home Theater. Apparently the bluray disks from Netflix and Redbox do not have the 7.1 DTS HD-Master Audio tracks that the bluray you purchase does, even though its printed on the disk. They instead contain just the Dolby Digital 5.1.
The letter editor Rob Sabin didn't directly confirm that that's true, but promised that they'd be looking into it. He suggested two possible reasons: economic (less royalties, hardware discs with less capacity), or compatibility (which doesn't make a lot of sense as then for-purchase disks would have the same issue).
