Especially when you spend 20 minutes trying to explain how they work, only to have them come back 2 days later because they buzz when your refrigerator comes on, or the cut out when you turn your head, or they buzz when your cell phone is on, or they buzz when your computer's on, or they buzz when your dog walks in the room. There are very few environments where these things work at all. And even when they do, they sound like crap for the price because they're transmitting on a radio frequency.

Actually, in the case of Sony at least, its using IR and not RF. They tout it like its a great advantage, but it causes the line-of-sight problem and aggravates the synchronization problem. The line of sight problem occurs even if its your hair (or your dog's shedded hair) on the emitters etc.... Or a couch, chair, wall, etc. etc. etc. I agree with Mmm or Coltrane or whoever just said to have someone come out and wire your house. Run the wires through the ceiling and out to upper corners and mount the speakers in upper corners (with location optimized, of course, by the technicians).
