Comet website has stocks of the Humax Foxsat HDR

The Comet website is currently showing stocks of the popular Humax Freesat + PVR, available to purchase in most UK postcodes. Check to see if you can order a Humax Foxsat HDR from Comet here

The Humax has been difficult to track down since it’s launch in late November, as initial demand outstripped forecasts and to make matters worse a lorry with a full load of the Freesat Plus PVRs was stolen in December. Until today the only online retailer taking orders was Maplin but now Comet are now taking orders for delivery starting 27th January 2009.

If Comet are out of stock in your area then you can still place an order at Maplin or if you are in a real hurry to get hold one then try bidding on one of the  4 Humax Foxsat HDRs on eBay at the moment.

Humax Foxsat HDR - Freesat PVR - stock and availability

Demand for the Humax Foxsat HDR, the first Freesat PVR has totally exceeded Humax’s original forecasts and this combined with the theft of a lorry load of Humax Foxsat PVRs in December, has left retailers with empty shelves.

If you’re set on picking up a new Humax Foxsat HDR in the next couple of weeks then your best bet at the moment is either to pre order one at Maplin or to bid for one of the handful appearing on eBay. Maplin Customer Services told me that they have a delivery coming in next week and a further one promised for the following week, and so are happy to continue to take orders.

When I checked this morning Comet, John Lewis, Currys, Dixons and Argos were all out of stock and no longer taking pre orders. However a spokesman from Humax told me this week that over 3000 Foxsat HDRs a week are being shipped, so it’s worth keeping a regular check on our Humax Foxsat HDR Stock Availability update page

Happy Hunting!

Updated article on the Humax Foxsat HDR: This amazing Freesat+ PVR (personal video recorder) from Humax is the first Freesat PVR - so you can now record free-to-view satellite progamming, with a maximum recording time of 200 hours for standard definition TV, and 80 hours of high definition (HD) programming!

This is an HD (high definition) personal video recorder (or PVR), so you can record any HD shows on Freesat (eg BBC HD).

You can also enjoy a great electronic programme guide (an 8-day TV guide, and a now now-and-next TV guide), and make use of lots of other features. The Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat Plus digital box comes with:

• Pause and record live TV
• Digital interactivity
• Digital text
• RF loop
• Digital video broadcasting (DVB)
• Split recordings for 2 part programmes or films
• Watch and record over 130 free digital channels
• 1 HDMI connection
• Twin tuner
• Basic scart lead included
• 1 audio and video inputs
• 1 S-Video connection
• Remote control

Record 2 channels and watch a recorded programme, or record 2 channels and watch a third live channel.

Please note, a viewing card is required for additional channels. You need a satellite dish to use this box.

This PVR is hard to get hold of at the moment - it is selling out as soon as it reaches the stores in many cases. I’ll blog again about it when stock is more regularly available - why not subscribe to our RSS feed so you get all updates?
