Yeah maybe, It says reserve and collect not available - please check instore, which possibly means not all stores will have stock today.
Just looked on Comet site and collect in store option said available for collection on 22nd Oct for my local store and 23rd Oct for other stores a bit further away. |

Really pleased.
Once connections were made,it only took five minutes to get up and running. Pre-install,I did have one concern,and that was the user interface would not be sharp on my 46" Samsung. No worries,it is pin sharp. Having been fortunate to have been a YouView trialist, I must say the <free time> box is so much better. And I really like the design of the box!

Looks like catchup is not available so soon after install. Sorry,but I don't have a clue regarding DD5.1 as I only use the TV speakers.
Thanks |

There should be some way of checking your box is connected to your network in the menus somewhere. As to 5.1 the answer is yes, see post 42 in this thread. http://myhumax.org/forum/topic/questionsqueries/ If posters wanting ask questions would check this thread first to at least let bampsam get to find his way round the new box. |

Any news on when supplies may reach the independants? It seems a little frustrating that Humax (who I confess to being a fan of) are being Apple-esque with their distribution rules...

I've just called Currys and they still don't have stock at all. The lady said to "wait up to 30 days".
I think not. I know that's not actually what will happen, but I've cancelled and ordered direct from Humax. Delivery due tomorrow. |

Post indicate John Lewis and Currys both have (or had) stocks. Probably not your local stores though

All looks nice, but can't justify £279 for a nicer looking EPG, my Foxsat HDR is less than 3 months old.

Can also try streaming from same drive connected to laptop using TwonkyMedia. It might take a while to figure out the UI though ![]() Bampsam appears to be only poster so far with a working installed box and may not have the hardware available. |
