Just wanted to asked a couple of questions in concerns about the 978.
I know (including myself) there are a lot of people out there that want to see the success of the 978. There are a lot of people out there that want to see the 978 tested, debugged, on the market and shipped out to it's first customer or guinea pig ?
I would like to know how many people on this forum will be the first to pull the trigger before hearing of any results from consumers?
I have a couple of tech related questions. Sorry if they seem unimportant or dumb.
First, I noticed on the rear panel of the 978 that there are only three optical inputs as opposed to the 990's four. I myself use all four optical inputs. I am using them with the Oppo, Roku, Sony777, and Comcast. I do know that I can eliminate the Roku and stream Netflix thru the Oppo, however I like the idea of having the four optical. Why only three?
Second, on the 990 the 7.1 channel or multi-channel is clearly labeled but not on the 978.
Does it have multi channel?

Thanks
