Humax - Foxsat HD. Where to buy?

[Waveform]

I've been trying to track down shops with stocks of the Foxsat HD with no luck so I thought I would start a thread for people looking as well.

So... anyone know of any shops with stock of the elusive Foxsat??

Comet Truro had some Humax set top boxes on Thursday although the salesman said a PVR version was not going to be available which is what I was holding out for, shame

hmmm Truro is a bit of a trek from cheshire

I believe the pvr versions will not be out until after summer - manufacturers might up the release schedule if the non-pvr version keeps flying off the shelves like they are (with no advertising to speak of either).

Have you tried www.argos.co.uk? The "Collect in Store" option will tell you if any local stores have one. The two nearest to me have them.

yup tried that and all of the stores have non, I've also tried to order centrally (delivery) and it shows no stock either (we'll email when we have it is the only thing you can do).

I'll try some further afield, thx

I've just been in comet in rhyl and they certainly had the foxsat hd boxes on display, didn't ask about stock though as I am not interested until the pvr's come out

Can't track one down in the Nottingham area either - I've had no joy with Argos, Comet or Currys!

I think a few places had them earlier in the week. Not many to be had at the moment in the Manchester area.
I managed to get one from the local John Lewis, they had 5 in this morning and I got the last one at 2pm.

I heard from a nice Argos lady that their central warehouse is due stock tomorrow/Monday

I ordered from the Argos website at 8pm Thursday evening and asked for a Saturday delivery £2.95 extra !

My new Humax receiver arrived before 9am today

This is my 3rd Humax item and as usual quality is brilliant, graphical displays are very pin sharp on my Samsung HD telly! 1080i display is stunning!

Best place I can recommend to get one is Argos online... can't fault them... excellent service

AFAIK Argos are still showing as out of stock (just checked again at 20:44 Sat night) so unfortunately Argos online is not an option to order it from. However as I mentioned above there is the possibility of more stock tomorrow/Monday.

I'd agree on Humax quality, the inlaws have a freeview pvr stb by them that has been faultless for several years now, I've also had a dvd player that is great.

I got one from Currys in Macclesfield on Friday.

I have one awaiting collection from Argos Watford but got one last week from Comet who seemed to have lots in our area.

If anyone wants the reservation number let me know. Its the Watford Charter place store - they won't let me cancel it so the stock wouldn't be released until Saturday the 17th!!

Bought one today at Argos, set it up with my 37 LCD HD ready tv via HDMI set at 1080i, very dissapointed get'jaggies' on anything slightly off of vertical (and this is BBC HD), sound seems to mute avery 10-20 secs. Oh and it would not accept my vald UK postcode no matter whether it had spaces or not. Emailed the guys at Humax to see if they can sort.

Currys in truro have a few in humax and goodmans

John Lewis in High Wycombe had plenty in stock.

Also a very nice 28 day, no questions, return policy.

I bought mine as a "father's day gift" so wanted to ensure that it could be returned if, say, my father had bought his own Freesat box. I was told that it was fine to return it within 28 days, so long as the packaging was not damaged.

I may find myself doing this once Euro2008 is over (if only to wait until the PVR version is launched)

A good "try before you buy" option.

there seems to be a few down south, I decided to buy one today and within 10 mins of browsing and one phone call had one reserved for me at Currys in Chippenham

 

[lovelldr]

There were 2 available at currys Fosse Park in Leicester for anyone looking (well, that was at 4.30pm)

I decided to go argos, as at currys they only gave me 7 days to return, but argos gave 30

 

[jamiev]

curry's online with discount code and quidco, get it down to about £145!

 

[Jimmo 32]

Also there is a few floating about on that well known action site.

 

[yellowdog22]

I bought mine over the web from http://www.satellitesuperstore.com
They seem able to get regular stocks.
