Chord Active HDMI for £21.93?

mentm · 29-08-2009, 6:03 PM

Subscribe to what hifi for 6 issues for 21.93 and get a free HDMI cable 1.5m closing date september 16th.

Haymarket Magazine Subscriptions

code M109P

just remember to cancel direct debit after 6 issues. These things normally require you to subscribe for a year but this is not stated this time page 86 current issue.

Wow, great deal. I've put myself down for a subscription.

Mentm,

Hmmm, interesting - might be worth it - pay for an hdmi cable and get some hifi comics for free.......

Will think about it and try and work out when I would have to cancel (always the issue with pesky direct debits!!).

I had a subscription a few months back, 6 months, and just cancelled via email after 5 months. No hassle, email received to confirm cancellation.

yoman228 · 09-09-2009, 1:28 PM

Emm.. If i need 2 cable. Does it mean I need to order 2 copy of them?

Can I canel the subscription straight away after I received the HDMI? Hence I only paid the first 6 month?

Friend has just got me this as part of my birthday present!

Sweet!

Will let you know when the cable turns up! It seems there are so many offers out there it is confusing for friends to buy these subscriptions......

thanks! great find!

amills2005smart · 12-09-2009, 8:45 AM

well i currently subscribe but thinking of cancelling mine, re-ordering it in the mrs's name and getting a hdmi cable!

would this work??

DoktorAvalanche · 12-09-2009, 9:11 AM

They had a similar offer about 2 years ago -for the plain vanilla 1.5m Chord carnival silver HDMI cable...
Afraid I cant remember how long it took for the cable to turn up -maybe a couple of months.

Strangely my subscription was cancelled after 6 copies came though my letter box!
No surprise there was a glut of them on ebay not long after mine turned up!
-I've still got mine. I Think its time for an upgrade.

If it is costing less than £22 pounds for the cable & 6 copies of the mag +postage, it makes you wonder what sort of mark up this stuff has?

mentm · 12-09-2009, 4:57 PM

I too had the chord silver cable through the magazine subscription. Think it took a couple of months to turn up.

I do enjoy reading the mag though everything is taken with a pinch of salt!! Still good to see what new equipment is available to tempt me... Also would never pay retail for this cable but at this price who could argue, also a nice length.

Glad to be of help

yoman228 · 14-09-2009, 8:48 AM

as soon as I get the HDMI. then I can do a test on whatever it is better then my £5 one as I still not sure rather they make any differents as a large group of people belive.

brankota · 11-10-2009, 11:55 AM

if anyone doesnt need the cable, let me know I will buy it from them for the cost of the 6mth subscription making it free

mentm · 12-10-2009, 5:00 PM

I think you would have more luck if you offered somewhere nearer the £80 they sell for on ebay...........

avnutter · 12-10-2009, 6:11 PM

has anyone received the cable yet?

I must admit some people really are stupid but i thought i would keep my comments to myself

But hey, i might have a silly moment and chase after someone so i can sell the cable for 5 times less than its RRP

Have no idea why someone wouldnt just order it for themselves, very rare for someone to not have a debit card anymore!

BTW it would be nice to get the mag, let alone the cable

rhino2k · 18-10-2009, 3:48 PM

still no magazine or cable

and my copy of iron man i ordered about 3 weeks ago has not turned up, time to hassle the hut methinks

rhino2k · 19-10-2009, 3:49 PM

Both items turned up this morning

mentm · 19-10-2009, 5:14 PM

i have had my second mag but still no cable

i,ve had my second mag too with no cable.

i emailed them and they replied back saying it may have got lost in the post and offered me a qed alternative cable. (obviously not as good as the chord)

so i replied back asking for a full refund.

michael-dyer · 22-10-2009, 5:58 PM

my second mag has turned up and still no cable so decided to email them.

surprise surprise sane as previous poster "must have been lost in the post" and we offer qed alternative .

rubbish and not good enough .i think you would have to say they are at it.

will keep you updated as i am not willing to accept a cheaper alternative.

Slackadder · 26-10-2009, 9:22 AM

Cable turned a couple of days ago!

Just hooked it up to the new Humax until it is called on in a more demanding role!

Have to say the picture has improved over using the standard freebie that came with it (flame suit on!!!)...

mentm · 28-10-2009, 12:53 PM

anyone who still has not received their cable should read this thread What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision - FREE Chord HDMI Active (1.5m)
