Are you sure that the Digicorder T1 is dual tuner?

[Deleted User] · 17/06/05 - 12:26

Argos delivery for items of £150 or more is currently free. Their website doesn't say that this is an offer, so I think this is permanent.

Makes the Fusion FVRT150 (80Gb) a little cheaper if delivered.

It would be worth double checking. I've fired off an email to them and will confirm later unless someone else can confirm before hand.

[Deleted User] · 17/06/05 - 17:05

the technisat Digicorders are single tuner PVRs and technisat have said they have no plans for releasing a twin tuner model at present. Thats a shame.

Looks like Currys have got the Fusion FVRT200 stacked on shelves today and is now showing as in stock on their online web site. Shouldn't be long for the other online retailers now - he says -. Interesting to see when LXdirect will show this item as in stock as it will save people £47 buying it at LXdirect.com instead of currys.co.uk

Nice one Eagle. And its in stock. Delivery £3.50. LLooks like its a re-badged Fusion FVRT100. The real deal Fusion seems to be actually cheaper at the moment.

tin · 21/06/05 - 09:32

would steer well clear of LXdirect - if you have problems they don't want to know - and with PVRs being what they are at the moment, it's quite likely that you'll have problems.

Guess the service is changeable there

Watch out on that delivery charge.

It seems to vary quite a bit according to postcode and round my area (PE9... and I even tried PE2 with the same result) it costs a ridiculous £15!

Seems a bit odd - guess that postcode checker is there for a reason, but surely if they're using a courier they pay a flat fee for all mainland UK like most others?

Comes up as £6 when I stick my old Croydon postcode in though...

£15 delivery? Ouch that is a lot more than you would expect to pay from well known online shop. Like you say, the post code checker is there for a reason. Still, even if you live in a post code that carries a £15 delivery charge (mine was £6) the price is still competetive but bear in mind Unbeatable have this for £234.99 and a flat £7.99 delivery fee.

Does that link actually work for non-LLoyds Premier Account holders? I would have expected you had to pay with a LLoyds card to benefit?

Colin

[Deleted User] · 22/06/05 - 15:27

I would have thought so aswell but it let me order it fine and I'm not a lloyds customer. Gave me the usual payment options from the qed website so paid with a normal tesco credit card. They've sent email confirmation of the order so assume no problems.
