DISQUS

jimpeek · 4 months ago

I REALLY need a NEW sound system. I still have a Kenwood El Poco system (along with other various components from the 1980's. Instead of travelling while I was in the Air Force, I built my stereo/entertainment system. It still works (usually), but COME ON! (Please?........)

I need me one of these boxes to prop open my door at night.
It gets so hot

bryanchandler · 4 months ago

i want this because it is good.

I would give this toi my neighbor who recently lost her job.

hartjo1 · 4 months ago

I NEED this. I have my first child on the way which means that I finally have to grow up. I'm inconsolable, but this fine piece of AV equipment may help.

jdwachter · 4 months ago

Seems like a more flexible solution than the Apple TV, which is a similar idea.

rabidsquid · 4 months ago

This device would solve all my problems unlike so many other devices that have failed before.

fiz · 4 months ago

I need a real sound system for my living room, and an extra HDMI input would complete my console/pc entertainment rig.

If I won this I would cherish it forever....and by "cherish it forever" I mean sell it on Ebay, lickity split.

I'd set it up for my parents, they have over 4 remotes and don't know to to use any of them!

miqueltegler · 4 months ago

i need one, because i don't have a sound system at all

akjack · 4 months ago

I'm tech poor, but want to upgrade what I have.

mkechaz · 4 months ago

I'm overly stressed. Not because I can't handle the 13 or steps to fire up the 360, TV and amp and then set the correct input on the first two and then adjust the volume to play a single video file.

My wife cant.

Help. Simplicity will help save my mind.

Martin Barnard · 4 months ago

I saw this when it was announced about a month ago and this device just looks awesome

Chad Dershaw · 4 months ago

Wow, this unit is so much better then the crappy HTIB systems I'm considering. First off none have the 3 HDMI ports I need, especially the ones with BD players. If I win this, not only do I get an awesome sound system, but the $$$ I save goes towards buying a good BD player. And one last thing, nobody can ever complain about a confusing remote ever again!!

Joseph Robinson · 4 months ago

I need this because I'm closing on my first house in 2 weeks and this would be great for when I throw my housewarming party. It's hard to entertain with my tiny little computer speakers hooked up to my iPod.

jeffjakubowski · 4 months ago

i want it so i can sit on it to see over the steering wheel

markno · 4 months ago

I currently use five remotes for my various audio/video components. My wife can't even turn on cartoons for my three year old. I have to set it up for her, and then when my daughter takes a nap, my wife is TV-less. I really need that single easy remote. On top of that, I moved into a new home last year and there's no place to easily run wire for my 5.1 suround sound system. So with no virtual surround capability, I'm stuck with a system that just sounds bad.

krommagnus · 4 months ago

The speakers that are built into my TV are better then my surround sound setup. Oh well, since I'm Canadian I guess I cannot win anyways.

824gaby824 · 4 months ago

First, August 24 is my birthday. Great way to start that day.
The Neo-HD is awesome! With all those hook-ups and 1 remote! I'm excited!!!

Rob Patrick · 4 months ago

Need this to help out my wife. To many remotes! plus i love new technology it would be great!

wessherman · 4 months ago

I need this b/c I need nice things to keep me company (its so lonely at night)

mikegrb · 4 months ago

yo! I NEED this because I just moved and in the process broke my harmony remote :/

BuckDaddy · 4 months ago

I have no sound system, I just use the TV so having this upgrade is a MUST, com om random number generator stop here

mad mardigan · 4 months ago

Truth be told, I just read this entire article and the only thing I paid attention to is the big gorgeous shiny dial and the plethora of digital inputs in the back. Maybe that's my typical "Y" Chromosome reaction, but I need this box. The only thing missing for me to love it anymore is a bad case of daddy issues.

Alex Mills · 4 months ago

I want this new system so I can sit on it and play with myself!

alexcue · 4 months ago

Tell you guys the truth, I would love to get my hands on one of these. I'm still running my system through my CD-changer-boombox thing! Loud but old and way obsolete. This would simplify a lot for me!

skrpune · 4 months ago

wow, this is so pretty!! I've got a sound system now, but it's old and clunky and the various parts pieced together result in me needing 3-5 remotes depending on what I'm viewing/listening to...I would LOVE to have one single remote solution.

jayseedub · 4 months ago

My system hearkens back from around 1987, and is hardly a match for my new giant TV and entertainment room. Hardly sufficient for the excellent picture, the sound of my current rig just doesn't cut it!

peteskenandore · 4 months ago

I need this so I can sell it on Ebay.

jeffmauch · 4 months ago

I really do need this. I've just moved to my first new house and its pretty much bare bones at the moment. I'm way behind technologically because I spent almost every cent I had to secure the house.

TrishaG · 4 months ago

I should win as I always enter and never win.

arcarc · 4 months ago

why? because my new tv feels so lonely without his friends. heck..my tv just said to the system...'you complete me'.

Kevin Podurgiel · 4 months ago

I NEED a new sound system to go with my super sweet TV.

ajmiller · 4 months ago

Its hard to upgrade my tech when I'm a broke college student. It would be nice to have something sexy and new like this rather then some books.

facebook-16900130 · 4 months ago

I need this because I am an better than all of you. Also, I have a huge music and media collection begging for this.

blairf_felgenheimer · 4 months ago

I want this cause you dont

gozno42 · 4 months ago

i need this because the size and weight makes it one of my only options outside of my current panasonic sa-xr55

nickv · 4 months ago

I need this because I believe it solves the issue of bloated AV receivers with too many dials and switches and knobs that are impossible to figure out. This is so long overdue it is not even funny.

at41183 · 4 months ago

Yes, I need this because we have six remotes and the kids (23 and 27) just mess everything up when they want to switch from TV to Wii or dvd/vcr .. you have to walk through a series of button-presses to make it happen, and it's not fun. We've even tried writing it all down and still, nobody gets it but me. I just bought a $99 remote that supposedly will fix all of this, but it'll be a few days before it shows up in the mail.

Chris Barnes · 4 months ago

A solution to consolidate all my remotes? Yes please.

jtk724 · 4 months ago

I need this because I'm building a new living/game room on my house and this would be sweet to put in it and the addition is taking all my money so I can afford anything like this.

eddyb59 · 4 months ago

i am sophmore in college just got a got a house and a new projector were i live with 8 ppl and we are all avid gamers and love movies this would help us out alot.
thanks.

bstaz · 4 months ago

I just moved to a smaller apartment (yay for saving money on rent) and now my cheapo bundled subwoofer quit and my speakers get all static-y and the sound drops out when I move them, the volume dial, or the wires.

InspectorTin · 4 months ago

My Reciver is on its last legs, and the Wife would like smaller speakers anyhow...

My current home theater randomly breaks into an awful static noise that sounds like someone choking a donkey. I need this!

taylorbri · 4 months ago

3 kids under 3 y/o... $30 Walmart surround sound system... need I say more?

ddd13 · 4 months ago

I need this...

Well, I need this system for my mental health. See, I do not own a home theater system and yet my friends do. Causing me much mental trauma. Winning this system will alleviate much of this pain and trauma.

stevetng · 4 months ago

Awesome. especially if it does upconvert, I mean I have lots of devices but only 2 have hdmi, and my tv only has 1 hdmi input. if this will upconvert the composite, svideo, and component video to hdmi, its worth the price. And having the virtual 5.1 from a set of 2.1 speaker.... Like I said awesome..

brucethehoon · 4 months ago

I need this because my JVC died horribly last week and I'm stuck on TV sound :(

jsgjunk · 4 months ago

I am a poor college student whose current receiver got blown up by a lightning strike induced power surge a few weeks ago. Translation: God wants me to win this. So gimmit.

Ooh new gadget...I must have it!!

laurie_pooh · 4 months ago

I need the neoHD because it will save my marriage. We fight over one of the many missing remotes more than once a week.

robertschwartz · 4 months ago

I love the idea of scrapping all my remotes (Xbox 360, DVD player, Digital Cable box & Tivo deck) for one system remote. Fantastic!!

echezeaux · 4 months ago

I need this because my stereo isn't capable of decoding my hdtv signal which leaves me with only the crappy sound of my tv speakers.

inkujon · 4 months ago

I need one of these because I'm poor, and I'm an audiophile too!

perfectfire · 4 months ago

just because

mike04092 · 4 months ago

i need one to keep up appearances, i'm po' but this would make me feel rich

shugluv7777 · 4 months ago

I need the neoHD because I have too many remotes. I am using three game systems,surround sound, cable, DVD, and TV. The neoHD would make my life so much easier per the article.

jimmypaulson · 4 months ago

I have been wanting something like this for a few years now. I never wanted to pony up the money for a decent receiver and a decent harmony remote and a decent IR repeater set, all to spend about $800 and have to hope it all works together. Plus, while I love the harmony remote, it seems to confuse everyone I know who isn't a tech-savvy person.

When I saw the NeoHD come out, I was so happy I hadn't ordered that receiver or the harmony remote - this is exactly what I want. Out of everything, the simple remote is by far the most elegent development in home theater technology (combining existing technology like IR repeaters and a receiver isnt all the stunning, neither is multiple hdmi ports or the 'smart' system that mimics the 5.1 through listening in the room). Why I love it is the fact that it goes above and beyond and now consolidates the controls into a custom menu on your tv, instead of on a remote in your hands. Why this is so great - I go back to my comment above about my friends who aren't tech-savvy. While they cannot use a Harmony remote, they do know how to navigate a comcast menu on the screen. The fact that I can be comfortable knowing my friends and family can use it with ease is great. What is even better is that the technology is NOT in the remote, so that if I wanted to, I could order another one (or two), if one breaks or I want to just have a backup if it is somehow misplaced.

Top all of the consolidating and simplicity and some decent speakers with a good looking device, and I believe you have found the market that I (and many others reside in) - they dont want to spend $2000 on home theater equipment, but they would be willing to step up from the $300 range to 2-3x that amount and won't feel bad justifying to, say, a significant other. Especially considering it will be the first item you buy that actually helps them use the tv and all the components (in my case, maybe not in yours).

3amJosh · 4 months ago

I bought my stereo system I had before I got married and my wife told me it was the last peice of gadgetry I would buy for awhile. It's now crackling and gaining some years on it. It's been great service to me but would love something to control all my audio/tv/gaming sound with ease and have a great new sound system!

Terry Pasley · 4 months ago

I could really use this.

kichri · 4 months ago

I need this yamaha because I'm finally getting on my feet. I'm moving into my own apartment for the first time in a really long time on Aug 25th. My ex husband ruined my life to the point where I had to live with my mom for the last few years. It has been pure torture. This would be a great house warming present for my new apartment. Not to mention a nice reward for getting my stuff together (aside from the reward of getting away from my mom....lol). I love her but geeeeez!

darkling_blight · 4 months ago

In truth for purely selfish reasons because I just want it.

Rolo Rummage · 4 months ago

My wife has no idea how to use my current system with the Harmony 550. If I get this, maybe she'll... well, you know...

Al Rincon · 4 months ago

I really need the newHD system because I have 4 remotes on my coffee table. To play the Wii, DVD or TV, i have to remember which input to use for the Audio in the stereo, and which input to use for the video on the TV. It is a pain.

sandyalso · 4 months ago

i need this because i generally need 2 controllers to turn on 1 tv and tivo type box and one of the 2 is generally in hiding! if i only had one, i know i could keep up with it!

susansmoaks · 4 months ago

I really need to win this! our sound system is out dated and not really working that great anymore!

denniscobb · 4 months ago

NIce review. I need a NeoHD for domestic tranquility because my wife gets SO mad when she can't make the DVD player work using the 4 separate remotes we must use now (and to get the wires out from under the rug).

facebook-1435309578 · 3 months ago

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

duck21230 · 3 months ago

WOW... I really need this product to simplify my entertainment options. Too many remotes ... Not enough time ...

Rick Hollander · 3 months ago

I need it so my 5 year old will stop needing me to set-up Lego Star Wars on the Wii every hour.

infernalcolonel · 3 months ago

But can you use a Harmony remote on it if you so choose? I know that might defeat the purpose...

I totally need one, b/c I have 6 remotes and HATE getting up to turn the volume knob on my compuiter speakers to change the TV volume! My legs are exhausted!

infernalcolonel · 3 months ago

No, but seriously. I totally need one. My speakers are collecting dust!

vanessa hubbard · 3 months ago

Love this. This is the perfect gizmo for our entertainment system.
