I have a Samsung HW-550 (matches nicely with my Samsung television), and I like it, mostly. Sound quality is good, subwoofer is wireless, which makes for easy room placement, and provides good bass without boom-boom-booming my neighbors.
My biggest concern in buying the soundbar was to maintain a high "WAF" (Wife Acceptance Factor). Many soundbars require a separate remote, and having to go to a separate remote to adjust volume would be unacceptable. The combination I have works through the single television remote, which is nice.
It does have one glaring "bug" in that the television remote does not turn the soundbar on -- ideally it should turn on with the TV, but this requires a separate action. But this is done once per viewing session, and so it's not a deal breaker.

are you sure there's no option for turning it on via hdme control? I know the sony I use has this.
Bought my dad this $89 Vizio Soundbar from Costco.

He really likes it especially after we connected up his Klipsch 12" Powered subwoofer. Sound is pretty clear and it has a relatively large soundstage.. there is some midrange to mid-bass rolloff, but we would recommend for it the price.
I would highly recommend that if you do purchase this to pickup at least a 10" powered subwoofer to connect to it to fill in the bottom end which it greatly lacks.

Nope, no hope. I've worked with Samsung support and they concur that it's hopeless. I'm pressing them to get their development team to issue a firmware update for it, but as it is now last year's product, I doubt they have much motivation.
