(Update – seems John Lewis have ran out of pre-orders now!)
Just to update you, John Lewis are now accepting pre-orders on the Humax FOXSAT-HDR, priced at £292 with stock expected within a week.
It’s not the cheapest deal around, but it’s another option if you are sick of searching high and low for stock.

I phoned John Lewis up despite the website showing no stock. they had plenty available in their central warehouse, this was about 3 weeks ago. Might mean that any pre-orders have been fulfilled as well, so folks stand a good chance of getting one.

The advantage with JL is that they give a free 2 year gauruntee instead of 1 with it. This has got to be worth the extra 10 or 15 quid.

I agree. I prefer peace of mind and deal with a top retailer than save a couple of quid. I’ve been stung by a total lack of aftercare by the likes of Curry’s in the past. Take a look at this month’s Which? survey on high street retailers and JS is in a league of it’s own!

Just called their direct order line and was told they are not accepting pre-orders.

Only 2 months late!!!
I cancelled my orginal order and got mine from Argos after JL failed to deliver on their promises.
@ Sasha I got the same thing time and time again, then they finally did but couldn’t deliver. I’d keep plugging away at Argos as they seem to have the best supply chain.
