Dixon’s have annouced they are now selling the Humax Freesat HD Digital Box (FOXSATHD) online. Not only that, but they are offering a 10% discount using code ‘FREESAT’ until Midnight 18th May 2008.
Its just a shame they have risen the price of the box by £10, but that could easily be due to shortage!
Visit Dixon’s to buy the Humax FOXSAT-HD Digital Box.

why did they chose Alba PLC of all company’s? no wonder there is a shortage. I would like to see the boxes made by Philips, Panasonic, Pace etc.

I suspect that Panasonic etc would not want to get into such a cheap market. Limited market size is another factor.

End quote.
risen the price of the box by £10
minus
10% discount
Sounds to me like something “The office of fair trading” should be looking into.
(Like when Tesco put all the price of it’s fruit right up high then did a highly premoted 1/2 price sale)

in currys today they were £149.99
currys is part of dixons or should i say the other way around
so why £159.99 normal price?from dixons
this should def be looked at as it is ripping customers off
best to wait for it all to calm down then the prices will go down also

went into comet today
they said we will have them in for the launch
i explained it had already launched..well kind of
oh….said the salesperson i missed the training
i went to a pet shop hoping for better advice!

Typical DSG rip-off. £149.99 is the correct price country-wide and they know it.

@ Trevor - Panasonic are putting Freesat into some of there HDTV’s, so I don’t think there that bothered about the market size. I just think there needs to be a premium box for the high end market. I wouldn’t pea on a Alba product, even if were on fire…!

This is the sort of recommendation I like, honest and true,
I won’t be buying one of these …. Thanks Alex
