I bought one and received it today. I had a particular need. In one room I'm trying to keep it as sleek as possible. I have a media room or home theater. This room only has a 60" plasma on the wall, but TV speakers leave 'alot' to be desired. This is a great sound bar for those of you who are in the market for one. I've used it for 2 channel for the Ipod via the 3.5mm cable and TV via optical out from the TV for 5ch. I'll run directly from the directv box as soon as possible. I'm very happy with my purchase and still believe Outlaw offers fantastic products at a great price. For anyone who's curious, I did get the directv remote programmed to control it, but the buttons don't make sense.
