I won't have HD for a good while in all liklihood and would be looking for an upscaling box at the time. Though I guess that could drop the price.

Albeit I have found it for 173 at asda, if it's buyable in store. Can I ask where you got it from?

I dislike BT sorry :-( They kept me waiting about 5 months for adsl when it was first going widescale and finally annouced it wasn't available in the area after we'd cancelled our free 56k connection and taken a day off work.

Plus it always takes them months to get me connected.

I think mine came from Currys although it was something of an impulse buy so could probably have been found cheaper elsewhere.

Currys had a decent price, and stock. Or at least they did until I got into the store.
Asda apparently don't sell them, neither do Tesco any more. Dixons and PC World are okay for price but don't have any (at all, apparently).

Argos do, though it's a little more and in Cov which I hate driving to so I may just risk the online thing and hope I don't end up with any issues. Hate online guarantees.

There is a Humax HD box out there but it's just a reciever and costs £150 by itself.

Side note - what the heck happened to scan.

Got my humax delivered from cwdigital yesterday.
There's no sign of a receipt and never had any email from them, and had to phone them as their communication is shocking but I did at least get the item just under 24 hours after placing the order and it works excellently
