Humax Freesat+ HDR 1000S- anybody got one yet?
Has anybody actually got a New Humax Freesat+ HDR 1000S yet? I have had mine on order now for over a month with Currys. They keep putting the delivery on hold.

Power Direct seems to be the big name on Google shopping who are doing the cheapest deal - £240 plus £6 postage, why would anyone pay Humax's price?

The fact thay they say available to pre-order kind of answers the question. http://www.powerdirect.co.uk/product...R-HDR1000S-500 |

No one will have one yet (other than test mules maybe), stock only landed today and so maybe a few will get theirs tomorrow, but more likely Thu/Fri for most. Still waiting on a review box; you'd have hoped these would have been available prior to launch (with the exception of the launch morning which was semi-hands on!). |

Joinfreesat are reporting this unit has a restricted distribution policy forcing sales to be at full RRP - http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/humax-r...free-time-box/
I am really angry about this, surely this has to be a case of price fixing? The OFT should be all over this if it is true. |

![]() Got 2 dishes up already from the past: 1. Old non digital sky dish 19.2 degs? 2. Old lodger's sky dish 28.2 degs when I rented the house 12 years ago (single LNB) - works fine on TV. Decided to fit the whole shabang to save any hassle in the future. SHMBO gave the spend go-ahead so I best get it working ASAP! With my new Samsung smart TV too I could be OD'ing on HD, BBC iPlayer, Love Film etc etc ![]() ![]() Right... best finish that report....

I have heard from retailers of big-brand TVs that if they undersell initially much below RRP they get their supplies cut off. I have also seen a rep from a major PC/printer manufacturer doing price-checks in-store. So it is an industry wide problem - they want exclusivity and until someone challenges them they will get away with it.

I am going to give it a week, see what happens with stock availability as there are quite a few places online who are offering below RRP but have no stock, then if none of these places get stock I am going to register a complaint with OFT. This is clear cut anti competitive action and as far as I can tell is prohibited, Humax have surprised me on this as such a large manufacturer ready to break a well established law if they are doing this on purpose.
Apple have been doing it for years (decades?) and the OFT don't have a problem with it. Maybe all the people working there and everyone else in the country have missed something that you've spotted though. I have a feeling you'll be disappointed. |

You can complain about Apple and their similar policy at the same time and save yourself some postage.
