Humax HDR 'reported' on Amazon
Someone has complained to Amazon that the HDR is not as described and Amazon have now placed a huge banner (which I have never seen before) stating:
"Item Under Review This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a customer recently told us that the item he or she received was not as described. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page." An ill informed customer or Sky mischievousness? |

It's only the one seller that has this message. Sounds like it's the seller that's dodgy not the hdr.

Don't think so Graham, my link links to the main HDR page, and the warning is explaining why Amazon itself no longer sell it as they did a few weeks ago when I last checked.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Humax-FOXSAT...1092427&sr=1-1 Checked a couple of others they also give the same message. Did I not read a post on here (or possibly on AVForums) that someone was going to complain they were not fit for purpose because of the failure to recover from a power cut in the correct manner? Perhaps this is that complaint in an attempt to get Humax to issue a software fix. |

Maybe they are selling HDs as HDRs or have a smaller HD in them.
Its no reflection on the product, just a reflection on the sellers. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Foxsat-Frees...1093966&sr=1-5 doesnt have the warning. |

Although the box should be able to recover from a power cut, when has the HDR ever been described as being able to recover from a power cut ?
![]() http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1310034 Although he did not say he was going to report it as unfit for purpose he did suggest Humax would have problems if someone did. Perhaps someone read that and did it off their own bat. |

Don't think they will have lost many sales yet as it's only be on today.

Perhaps someone read that and did it off their own bat. I only posed the question on this forum As davemurgatroyd says - I was making the point that IF the product were deemed to be not performing as expected, (Sale of Goods Act gives some scope for this), AND a major retailer(s) had to give refunds, then Humax might take more notice if the retailers complained. If I remember correctly, Bob Cat said something about Humax wanting this problem fixed but can't get it elevated in the Korean engineering schedule Geoff |

We have not received notification from Amazon as to why this happened, normally we receive an email due a customer notifying them that the product had an issue e.g. Missing/Incorrect remote control or something similar.
Seems to be back up now without any intervetion from us, so unsure what the reason is. |

Do you have any proof it was a Sky employee? I wonder if Humax would consider taking legal action for lost sales as the HDR rank has dropped quite a bit since that warning was put up.
= A jokeA drop in interest in the Foxsat HDR is more likely to be linked to the interest being shown for Humax’s Freeview HD recorder. |
