 Boston Tvee 2 woofer hissing and poping. May 31, 2010
Purchased Boston Tvee 2 in 2008 at $300 for use with TV in medium size room. Expected to have purchased quality product for that price but had several problems with unit. #1: Agonized with remote 4 foot operational distance until found the "remove red filter cap" solution in "FixYa". Lost connection with remote and shut unit down for about 6 months. Now, after half day playing with set-up, finally got remote synchronized again. After aprox 30 minutes operation, the woofer started to output rather loud random speaker pops. Attempted power recycling, changing unit-woofer channel, adjusting power output level and relocating woofer with no success. Have not removed woofer cover or contacted repair facility yet; perhaps I'll just scrap it and look for a more reliable system. Seems many others have had similar problems.
 Poor Quality Control and Remote Distance May 13, 2010
First I purchased model one of these units from Bestbuy, and the wireless base stopped working after a few months of light use. The power still went on and the fuse was intact, but no sound was coming out. This didn't seem to happen to any other reviewers though, so I'm assuming I just got a defective unit, and am sending it back, praying Boston Acoustics will make good on its one year warranty (still waiting on this).
But then I needed a second unit of this type. Assuming it was just a freak glitch, I ordered another, this time Model 2. The good news is it hasn't blown out (yet). The bad news is that if you program your cable remote volume to control it, it only works from 4 feet away. My arm is approximately 3 feet long and there are buttons on the top, so I'm not sure how anyone but a midget could possibly find this useful.
Fortunately, as another reviewer points out, there's a DIY solution. Just remove the front cover, and pry off the infrared sensor cover with a nail. After doing that, the range extended to about 10 feet. I bet I just voided the warranty doing this though, and I'm kind of disgusted that Boston Acoustics could put out a product whose remote control distance is only the length of your arm. I don't know anyone who watches TV from 4 feet away.
So I'd say avoid this product on principle, unless you get a machismo high off of fixing hardware that's broken right out of the box.

 Difficult to properly setup Sep 12, 2009
Have been unsuccessful in getting the system properly setup to respond to my volume remote control. Instructions are ok, but I still cannot understand why I cannot control the volume by my remote (directv remote).

 boston acoustics soundbar Feb 07, 2009
this is a great quality product. the sound bar is not overly large and the sound from the base will have you vibrating. go for it.

Great idea but troubled by technical difficulties Jan 30, 2009
The unit greatly improved the sound from our new LG flat screen - I could finally understand movie dialogue. Unit also looked fine set just under the tv on our cabinet. However, after numerous attempts by me, my husband and my 19 year old son, then finally by emailing and calling the manufacturer - never could get the remote to work properly. It wouldn't 'hold' the setting. The manufacturer declared it defective, so I returned it. But seems from my online research, that this product has issues relating to remote controls. I'm now in the market for a good, compact, affordable sound bar/system so I can finally hear just what Darth said. He mumbled something about being a father....

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
