Save yourselves lots of headaches, i just returned my neo and bought a new TSU 2000 + docking station from PricesRite.com

Philips TSU2000 Learning TSU2000 $224.82
LCD TouchScreen Remote
with 2MB Flash Memory
Philips DS1000 Docking DS1000 $52.79
station Charger(for
Pronto TS1000)

Subtotal $277.61
Shipping $32.89
Tax $0.00
Total $310.50

That's a LOT more than buying the NEO at Best Buy for $199 as of this week...

8 of your 9 posts on this site have said this. I hope you really did buy the 2000 for what you said you did. You won't need the docking station though, because you won't ever use your remote. You will have the same problems with your new toy as this one, only thing is you probably can't return your new one. To bad, no hard buttons either. What, you can't get the cool bmp's loaded. Guess that high res screen wasn't worth it. And I suppose you think that you're going to need that extra MB you just paid for. Not if you can't follow some simple instructions for getting X-10 to work(they will be the same for your 2000 if you want to try again) One thing you maybe could do to use up the memory, download a bunch of game, the NEO can't do that. Then you'd have a $300 gameboy. I would have went for the PS2.

The NEO rocks. Now that the upload is available, it is worth the minor headaches as Philip's continues to de-bug NEOEdit. The ONLY thing missing is SuperNudelist.

The one thing I'd like to see added to Neoedit it being able to enter discrete codes. Even if they don;t add it, I'm sure some of you will figure out how to actually do it, from within the .xml file :)

BTW canoura, you need to take a math class because $310.50 is not less than $199 + tax(it't not even less than the original Neo price of $249 + tax).

Go to the web site and find out.

NEOedit erases all your new configuration as soon as you save the file, also when you upload, it doesn't upload 90% of your NEO configuration.

Actually, i have a Math major from University of illinois but if you knew how to read, you could see that $310 includes the docking module, the remote alone is $224.

Since I have a TSU200 and a NEO, I enter discrete codes into ProntoEdit and dowload to the 2000. I then learn the codes via IR transfer from the Pronto to the NEO. Now here is the good part for us "NEO-phites": Once the code is learned by the NEO and uploaded, you send your .ncf with the discrete function to a friend (or RemoteCentral, ahem, Daniel). You simply open the .ncf file that has the discrete function along with your destination .ncf file (something ProntoEdit cannot do) and drag and drop the button that has the discrete function (and shazam!) you have "entered" a discrete code into your .ncf.

And YES, version 1.3 of NEOEdit DOES copy the function (discrete IR code for instance) of a button when the button is copied. The previous version of NEOEdit did NOT copy the function, only the bitmap (duh!).

It only erases the TOP level menu stuff, IF you edited the xml file, outside of NEOedit. Yes there is a bug, where if you edit something you can potentially lose all your links to that device, but it is just that, a bug(I'm sure prontoedit, in it's infancy had plenty of bugs too).

With ver 1.3 it uploads ALL of what is in the NEO, including learned keys, so you won't lose anything when uploading then downloading.

I agree the inital software was horrible, but Philips is getting it right. If they fix the lose of links bug, allow editing of the top devices menu and allow direct entry of discrete codes, I will be a happy camper.
