Surround Working Question


A couple boneheaded questions regarding surround experience:

I've got a HK-AVR247 with 5.1 set-up (HKTS14) on a Bravia with Verizon FIOS.

It seems that when I'm watching certain channels, it will say broadcasting in 5.1 Dolby and the receiver shows all 5 speakers lit up, but I never hear anything from my rear speakers? In fact, anytime I watch just TV, I never hear anything from the rears.

Is this normal for TV? Does Verizon not relay 5.1 broadcasts?

The rears do seem to work with DVD and Blue-Ray but I never really get that enveloping sound.

What's a really good movie to test that the rears are working properly and at the right sound level?

Appreciate any help.
