I hope those with backorders with Maplin got theirs despatched today as well.

Big UP to everyone on the site. Thanks for your help.

Many thanks for this service. Its been extremely useful in avoiding the frustration of chasing this PVR. Mine has just been dispatched by Maplin. I'm sure the wait will have been worthwhile

I have just spoken with Maplin and they said that new stock should only be going for back orders - obviously this isn't the case and she conceeded that there must be a procedure problem at the warehouse. Her supervision will look into this. Anywat hopefully mine will be disptached on the 2nd Feb, atlhough they are also expecting another 900 in, which could arrive at any time.

Can't believe my luck. I ordered one from Maplin on Friday 16th January and it was delivered on Monday 19th January. Wow how fortunate am I when I read all you guys are waiting weeks for delivery.

Have just had a stock alert from Argos for Home Delivery, don't know if is postcode dependent, we are in the Salisbury area. Have just ordered one for delivery Monday PM. A little more money than Maplin but despite many calls to them I am not convinced it is going to turn up from them anytime soon. Good luck.

Also had an email from Argos that units are in stock. I am in Surrey, Leatherhead...still waiting for my box from Maplin...

I received the Foxsat HDR today. I got it from Currys. Thanks for all the alerts - very efficient.

Thanks Humax. The Foxsat Alert service makes it so much easier than having to phone/drive/browse around the individual stockists.

I ordered mine from Parabolic Communications late on sat.nite 17/1 He had a delivery yesterday, mine was here 8.00 this morning,I dont know if he has any more but it might be worth a try £289.99 + £9.99 postage

Sorry for getting you all excited earlier on today by issuing a stock alert for MicroDirect. MicroDirect have been updating their website and this caused a software error on our systems. MicroDirect didn't have any stock, although they are reporting that the Humax Foxsat HDR will be available within 1 week!
