Admin, or any one else, do you know if the last statement is correct No 58. It would please my Dad if it was,as I just made him replace his Doddery Digi Box with a Humax

It does appear that JL’s left hand does not know what the JL right hand is doing.
Which should we believe? Is all this an over keen saleslady? I notice that JL has taken £1 from my credit card account. I’m told by the card company this is usual to ‘test’ the card. That does confirm the order. As for delivery, all we can do is wait.
Perhaps JL could comment?

I ordered one from Comet. Now they tell me that they have sent out all those that were delivered and don’t know when the next lot will come in. So they have cancelled my order so I can join the scrum again – why can’t they keep the order on the books so that priority can be given to those who genuinely want one – they claim first come first served. I’m not trying to jump any queues, just looking for fair treatment. I don’t know that I can be bothered any more if this is how we are treated

Now I am really confused. I was in Kingston on Saturday, so I decided to couble check on my pre-oder with John Lewis, just in case I could chivvy up teh delivery etc. The salesman stated that they do not know when the Humax HDR will be in stock (despite the phone call I made where they took my order and told me it would be in stock in the next two weeks), the web site still shows out of stock. Yet JL in Bluewater have sold 1,000 already and are waiting for a second batch? At this rate Humax’s initial shipment of xxx,0000 boxes into the UK will run out! Now I am wondering do I cancel my JL order and order from Comet or Argos, my intuition says no to Comet as I have never met (a) any salesman with a brain, (b) every previous time I have used Comet, I have had very very poor after sales service.
Decisions decisions. I am all of a qaundary!

JL Cribbs Causway say their first delivery is pre-allocated with no confirmation of new stock.. Two weeks ago they would not take my order in advance!
Took your advice and rang JL Bluewater. They sold the first batch of 1,000 in one day – they took my pre-order for the next batch due early next week. With luck it will be delivered next week at the possible reduced VAT rate.
No reply to the early warning email promised by JL. Very surprised.

Les Nicol said: For all interested parties. Humax have confirmed today the following: Diseqc software is retained permitting motorized operation in FTA mode.
Thanks for that and as the manuals are not yet downloadable I have the following Questions:

Does the Humax Foxsat HDR also have the required versions of Diseqc for operating multiple LNB’s?
Will it enable different locations to be received via both of the two LNB inputs on the back of the box? Specifically, I would plan to cable the usual quad LNB with two cables down to the box for the Freesat locations at 28 degrees and add LNBs to receive 13, 19 and 23 degree locations. Would the extra LNBs need to all be added onto one of the main cables via a Diseqc 4 way switch and fed in to LNB1 input or would you suggest another combination?

No hope of geting one from a shop this weekend. Currys not got and don’t expect delivery this weekend, Argos had some for home delivery, all gone, delivery scheduled 9th December. Comet don’t get any in central wharehouse until 24th, expect a week to reach the shops. Wish I had stayed in bed, Freesat gives customer satisfaction again…. not

JACKPOT!
I emailed Argos via their Ordering System – when it advised me thet they were out of stock and they replied within the hour advising that new stock had arrived – and did I still want to order?

Did I?

I used the Discount Code – AFD10 and it will be delivered on Monday – Post Free.

Don’t order an extra HDMI Cable though. You don’t need one. There is one included in the pack from Humax.
