True but 7.1 is less common than 1080p TV sets. Rooms smaller than 200 sq are nor well suited for 7.1 especially if your space behind the listening point/speakers and the wall is minimal and most living rooms/bedrooms fall in that category.
7.1 is kinda like the same philosophy behind bigger TV's in that the distance from the TV to your viewing point plays a large role in determining the required screen size. If you sit close, a 1080p TV is pointless where as 720p TV is more sufficient.
The rEVOLution is not being televised
