Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

I am looking for one of these and I am not willing to pay over the RRP, so wont go through Ebay.

Can anyone tell me where they are in stock?

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

Hi Tyler,

Not sure where you are based, so this may not help, but...

I got a couple before Xmas, and another one last Friday from Curry's on Oxford Street and I know on Friday afternoon they had at least another one in stock. You have to ask them for them though as they didn't have them on display.

They have a been a nightmare to try to get hold of online, I tried to order one from Dixons in December (they were showing stock), they excepted the order but then emailed me 3 days later saying they were unable to fulfill it!

Happy hunting...

Mean Doris - I'm in the Midlands so Oxford Street is a little out of the way. I'll try my local currys just in case the on line departments stock information is wrong.

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

I bought one 10 days ago from my local Currys even though on their website it was saying out of stock. Phone around your local dealers don't just rely on the web...

Keep checking the main page of the site linked to above, it will be updated with news when the next online retailer has stock...which should be later on this week.

Except you can expect the "in stock" status to change very quickly!

Hi just popped into the local currys went to the freesat where they had 1 on display asked the salesman if they had any in the back, he checked the computer, had 3 in stock so he lifted a cardboard display and lo and behold there they were, actually only had 1 left so i bought it, he did'nt have an answer when i asked why they were'nt on display, so i guess have a look into your currys you might be surprised.

Keep checking Argos for home delivery. I got mine Day 1. A friend got one approximately 2 weeks later. Their stock replinshment seems to be pretty consistent. Good Luck. Great piece of kit.

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

Richer Sounds now stock them (although they appear to be out of stock online) HUMAX FOXSAT-HDR-BOX at Richer Sounds - HI-FI Separates, Home Cinema, Speakers, MP3 DVD Portables, Plasma LCD, etc. so it might be worth ringing a local branch if anyone's still looking for one?

I got mine at Brent Cross yesterday about 2pm, they said it was the last one, although the sales man did look a bit dopey. Think the sales people are telling porkies! I asked in Slough and they said Brent Cross has 6, so with me and you, I guess they are down to 4 now really. Ealing were meant to have 9 according to the lady in Slough. Slough have none, so dont try there

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

no, i was a bit hasty with the order and didn't really think about it. i put it down to the shock of actually finding a place with some in stock

i'm happy enough with the standard warranty, by the time it runs out the wife will have decided that we need something new anyway :P

still awaiting actual confirmation that they're sending one btw, only had the order confirmation email. will update

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

Hi,

Went into Comet in Chester and their system was showing 300+ in central wharehousing. Ordered mine, so it should be turning up at the end of this week.

Hope this helps,

Kishoo

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

I bought mine from John Lewis before Christmas. The whole thing was pretty painless. They hadn't got them in stock but were expecting them in (2000 on order). I ordered one with no obligation to buy. They rang me a few days later to say they'd got one reserved for me and when and how did I want it. I went in on a Sunday and picked it up (my choice) for £292. Nice shop, no hastle, reliable service and a reasonable price IMHO.

I didn't actually get any further emails or confirmation of any kind from RS
that my order had gone through and was being sent, but it seems they had
some when i ordered as it showed up this morning Got it set up in less
than 5 minutes, very impressed with it so far

Now showing as out of stock on RS website though, pure luck on my part it seems.

I eventually ordered via Maplins of all places and it should arrive by courier tomorrow. Cost just £275 with the use of a £25 promotional voucher.

Bargain.

If you dont mind me asking when did you place your order at maplins because ive just ordered one also (at the same price yesterday 22/01/09) and im just wondering whether mine will be delivered any time now.
I note that the money has been deducted from my account,is that a good sign or bad practice to withdraw before despatch?
Regards
Bob

Re: Humax Foxsat HDR - Can you help me find one!?

I am due to receive mine next week. I am sure that I have read that Humax supply it WITH an HDMI cable. Can anyone confirm this? The last thing I want to find is that I unpack my box when I return to France to find there is no HDMI lead.
