-UPDATE: THIS CONTEST ENDED ON 8/24, STAY TUNED FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNER!-
With technology comes remotes…lots and lots of remotes. TV, Stereo, Cable, DVD, Blu-Ray, Wii, PS2, PS3… and while technology is good, the half-dozen remotes needed to turn on your TV really arent. That’s why Yamaha created the ground-breaking neoHD, a new device that simplifies your entire entertainment system. One remote, one on-screen interface, complete control.
You stand before a friend’s 72 inch flat screen and pick up the remote to turn on this glorious testament to man’s technological advancements. However, as you press the power button, the stereo comes blasting from behind! No problem, you quickly shut that off and pick up the next remote- hit power. The fan above you starts whizzing. Argh!! When will this nightmare end!?
Right. Now.
Yamaha has created the ground-breaking neoHD, a gizmo that simplifies your entire entertainment system. One remote, one on-screen interface, complete control. If you haven’t seen it already, check out the Yamaha neoHD Opportunity in Socialspark.

I seriously need the Yahmaha neoHD system because my "universal" remote isn't so universal. I end up needing 3 remotes and, at times, some of them don't even work! It's a giant hassle, but this system could fix that.
BenSpark said on 7.24.09 at 1:34 pm
I need one of these because I am addicted to tech. LOL
Cindy said on 7.24.09 at 2:02 pm
I need the Yahmaha neoHD system because between the Tv, stereo,DVD, VCR, DVR and satellite there is always 1 remote that we can't find (or it doesn't have batteries in it).
Mrs. Mecomber said on 7.24.09 at 7:09 pm
I need this amazing device because I am ABOUT TO GO INSANE from the confusing skyscraper of remotes we have stacked up on our tables! The kids have relegated to placing stickers on them to *try* to keep them organized. *sigh*

I need one because my remote control interactivity involvement is too much for me to fully comprehend. And it looks awesome.

I have a coffee table occupied by one laptop, two cats and a mountain of other crap - on which I can never find the right remote. Help.

I am not joking when I say I have 13 remote controls across 3 rooms in my house, seriously have been wanting to invest into a universal remote control that can do Macro's for years, but never spent the money.

I seriously need the Yahmaha neoHD system because its the answer to the words that I huff under my breath every day "there has got to be a better way". I resorted to buying a noivelty 4 foot universal remote because we lost them so many times! Plus, the Yahmaha neoHD system just exudes an air of Coolness!

"ONLY" one remote, is this really possible?...I want this neoHD
Ruth said on 7.27.09 at 7:29 pm
I need a neoHD because I am a gadget geek and of course with each one there is a remote, so you can imagine what happens when I want to watch a movie, play games, use the TV and or stereo.

Bill said on 7.28.09 at 10:35 pm
I'm just sick of juggling remotes, switching from one thing to another. this would be eminently useful and make me the envy of all! hope I win!

This is exactly what I have been waiting for. I desperately need this! We have so many remotes that i even put away some of it and just retained what we need but still spend a lot of time trying to figure out which is which. Thank you Yamaha for this great technology!
Valorie said on 7.30.09 at 6:25 pm
I need one because I am constantly losing my remotes and having to look for them, which means a lot of stress and tossed around living room furniture.

John Voelker said on 7.31.09 at 12:47 am
With the dawn of DTV and the new converter box, I now have a remote to turn on my TV, one to change the channel, one to turn on the sound, one to operate the DVD player, AND one for the media center computer. Help! I'm drowning!

the neoHD combines basic 2.1 convertable to 5.1 with the ability to learn new devices and how to use them together and as a media server it can be wired to the net for easy updates? thats cool.
Mike Riblett said on 8.3.09 at 10:15 pm
I need one because I love tech and am unemployed so I can't buy one !!!!
Colin said on 8.4.09 at 12:17 am
I have a Yamaha system and a stack of remotes 6 or 7 plus, this sounds like it would solve a lot of problems and if it is as good as the system I have, would be nice synergy
sam thorne said on 8.4.09 at 3:50 am
I have a "universal" remote now($700 more or less) but the dealer had to set it up....awkward! It's geared to operations (watch TV, watch DVD etc.) not individual components so, even though I have this remote I still have to retain all the other remotes. I feel a simpler,more user friendly component would let me enjoy the level of control I was looking for originally. Now if I could win one the economics would work out just fine.
jeff said on 8.4.09 at 4:31 am
I don't really need this new gadget, unless I want to satisfy my wife. I've built a wonderful media room with great equipment but when I am out of town working (frequently), my poor wife is afraid to use the room. Please help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deano said on 8.4.09 at 5:50 am
I love gadgets! But I hate having 4 remotes on the coffee table. So the Yamaha neoHD would be a win win for me and my house mates.
Thanks :-)
Ravi Ramachandran said on 8.4.09 at 7:44 am
Too many remotes which are a pain to program. Even the so called harmony universal malfunctions a million times that I am sick and tired of it. A good remote which really controls my home theater would be a lifesaver.
Stephen Tsai said on 8.4.09 at 8:58 am
I need the neoHD because my wife is a technophobe who gets frustrated looking at the various remotes I have for our home theater system. In the past she has even resorted to listening to audio through the tinny TV SPEAKERS. NOOOO!!!!! Help me please!
Danno said on 8.4.09 at 9:29 am
I have the same problem as most of the other entrants. My wife is a technophobe who refuses to learn how to use my Logitech 880 universal remote because of all the buttons. With fewer buttons, I may be able to convince her that all technology is not evil!
Marci said on 8.4.09 at 9:56 am
7 remotes to operate everything...YES I DO NEED this!
Jeff Soltwedel said on 8.4.09 at 12:35 pm
My 21 year old, brilliant, daughter decided to buy a bulldog when she was living in a dorm last year. My wife and I got stuck with the dog and she just loves that great flavor blend of plastic, pc board, and batteries found only in your good ol remote control, many of which can't be replaced cuz some of our stuff is old. We have a universal remote that works a few things, but I've been underwhelmed with the astronomical prices of the good ones so we'll just have to wait till they come down. Or....We have one safe spot for the Yamaha to live, right above the fireplace!
Anthony Winner said on 8.4.09 at 2:03 pm
I need it so My Wife will learn to play a DVD without my help!!!! Dear it's easy, use this remote to start the TV, use this one to turn on the HT, select the DVD player this way,.....
Yee Kwan Wong said on 8.5.09 at 8:51 am
I need the NeoHD remote cos I have like 12 remotes in my coffee table drawer and every time I want to use the various DVD players (Bluray, LD, DVD, DVD-R) I have to keep switching remotes! My parents will also benefit as now they are always confused when they want to play a DVD, and I have to help them even though I did try to make a help sheet for them.
Peter Karsanow said on 8.5.09 at 5:15 pm
Me needs this because the "Universal" remotes from the cable company can't seem to turn the TV and cable box on or off at the same time. You have to press TV PWR Cable PWR every time. And if you don't do it in that order, changing channels blasts you with white noise. Also, about 9/10 of the buttons on that huge remote we don't use at all. And don't get started on trying to play a DVD or even VHS tape...
Shankar Narayan said on 8.6.09 at 8:01 am
I wanna take this opp... cos anything related to tech n i'm happy to do!
Rodney Ruth said on 8.7.09 at 7:08 pm
This is just what I need. 5 remotes, large amp that takes up room. A Wii that my kids can't use unless I setup the TV and the sound.
Haven't had surround sound in years because my wife won't let me run wires and cut holes for the rear channels.
DirecTv, Wii, DVD and streaming media! I need help!!!
Aseem Chawla said on 8.11.09 at 10:10 am
Well! I 'desperately' need the Yamaha NeoHD cause my 6yo kid keeps smashing up all the individual remotes that he can get his hands on while I watch TV / listen to music, etc. I can't keep rotating my eyes to look out for each of the different remotes! One Yamaha neoHD = One Remote that I can probably 'tape' to my head so that 'The Monster Of The House' can't reach it! Please give it to me!!!
rache said on 8.11.09 at 2:22 pm

Not only do I have seven remote controls, but do you realize how many batteries that is? I think the neoHD is the "green" remote solution in addition to the coolest looking and most functional, real-world remote to hit the market. If I had one I would be helping to save the world, and look good doing it.

I often wonder what our house would be like if we only had ONE remote for everything. I swear – I think we have a bazillion remotes. We have one for the TV, DVD player, Cable Box, Stereo… I can keep going. We have a basket on the table, next to the couch, that has all of our remotes in it. Our technology changes so much that we are always on the lookout for something to help simplify our lives.
I would love to have this bad boy because when I am on the couch, cuddling the kids, I don’t like having to get up just to find one of the ‘other’ remotes. Why have a basket of 10 remotes when you can have one for everything?
Yamaha neoHD, where have you been all my life? Just the thought of having a device to simplify all of my electronics will not only save time, but it will help save my sanity. Who likes to run around looking for their remotes for the right device?
Jennifer Phillips said on 8.23.09 at 2:41 pm
This would be the answer to a child like husband and two teen-age boys that lose the remotes every 5 minutes. And we have a lot of remotes! It is a circus in here when we are all throwing cushions moving furniture and everything only to find it an hour later in the bathroom!
The Yamaha neoHD would be such a wonderful device for us to have! I just can't say enough about it here. Plus my minds works faster than my fingers and I end up with a bunch of blabber you wouldn't understand like now.
So I am on my way to tweet now about the Yamaha neoHD twitter name jenni104
