I loved it other than I tended to bump the screen buttons too often. Lots of people still swear by it, but it’s at its potential. But the SR series has been for years and it’s still the go to for probably 30% of users. I’ll start a debate here. What percentage of users are using which platform remote. Here’s my guess: 30% SR Series 30 % Neeo 30% Halo Series 10% App/OSD or Touchscreen Only Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think you're WAAAAAAAAAY ot of whack on that one. I'd say 80% SR or mix of SR and other remotes 5% Neeo 5% Halo 10% Phones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SR260 just works! and in this business thats what counts. jm2c I disagree that it's had 'so many issues'. It's not been as robust outside of a made for purpose network setup. That's not a good thing either, mind you. I do agree that 'just works' ends up what the end-user wants. RyanE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I unboxed the first one I was shocked at the size, reminded me of a 90's Zack Morris phone Funny considering the SR260 is bigger....and you say you sell so many of those.

Cyknight Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I should note that we don't do a lot of Halo remotes - simply because the client doesn't want to pay a new phone price for a remote. Our sales guys try to sell the heck out of them, but THAT is it's biggest downfall. I've told C4 this at the time as well: The Halo Tactile should not cost (considerably) more than the SR260 (with cradle), and the touch should cost less than but at worst the same at the Neeo (Which was overpriced to begin with) - essentially the Touch should be at a price that the Tactile is at now. And if that price in unreasonable because of how much it costs to make (and develop and...) - than it's not worth it. Yes, the touch especially is a nice upscale remote for a Theatre, but if you have a larger C4 setup, it's simply nicer to have the same remote everywhere (because ...well that's half the point of doing it - to make everything work the same) . And if you wanted upscale.... get a tabletop TS if you're spending money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not think the SR260 is bigger - I'll keep on 'thinking' it is. Bad pun: She will agree..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I'm in the minority but love the Neeo. Also love the 260 for simplicity and it just works. We have 2 Neeo and 6 SR260s in my house. No plans to get Halo/touch with all the issues unless a remote I care about dies. RyanE, SpencerT and South Africa C4 user 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
