Now that supply has improved on the Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat+ Digital Box prices are starting to drop as major retailers compete in these uncertain times. We came across a deal from Homebase that we thought was worth a mention for all those looking to buy when they are just that bit cheaper!

Homebase, with the helpful use of discount code DISC15 are offering 15% off the PVR until Sunday 22nd March. This brings the price down to £255.35 delivered, a massive saving of £44.04!

Remember this deal is until Sunday, and only available online whilst stocks last, so don’t delay!

Buy online at HOMEBASE for only £255.35 now!

Discount applies to anything else you may want to buy from Homebase too, providing the order value is over £50.

The next closest deal is £273.09 from Dixons using discount code MARCH10. See the Humax FOXSAT-HDR Product Page for more comparisons.

This has been mentioned a few times by readers of this site, but at present, with the shortage on Humax PVR’s, it seems to best solution is to pre-order from Maplin, and save some money at the same time.

This is what you need to do:

Step 1 – Visit Maplin and click on the “Subscribe and save up to £25 off your order” in the top right corner.

Step 2 – Register an account and sign up for the newsletter…or sign up for the newsletter only.

Step 3 – Wait a few days for the newsletter to arrive via email, which will include a 20 digit code.

Step 4 – Add the Humax PVR to your basket, but because the £25 discount only applies on £300 orders or more (the PVR is £299.99), add this Radial Electrolytic Capacitors which we believe is the cheapest item at just 0.11p.

Step 5 – Wait for Maplin to process your order, and save yourself £25 (well, £24.89!!!).

Total price: £275.10

Given that obtaining stock is so difficult at the moment, why not at least pre-order and save yourself some money? Maplin have so far been honouring the orders within the time-scale indicated.

Comet, not wanting to be outdone by Dixons’ consistent low Freesat prices have released a 15% off discount code, applicable on all Freesat HD digital boxes until 10th November 2008.

They are offering the Humax FOXSAT-HD at £127.49 plus delivery (£5.95) and the Grundig GUFSAT01HD at £110.49 plus delivery (£5.95).

So if you are looking for Freesat HD, and not waiting for the Freesat PVR, then this is a good time to buy. Visit Comet online here, entering discount code FREESAT15 at checkout (also applies to store collections, just book the collection online).

EDIT – PRICE ONLY APPLICABLE TO HUMAX HD MODEL, NOT GRUNDIG.

We are please to announce that Dixons have extended their 10% discount on all Freesat digital boxes until 16th October 2008.
