The Humax Foxsat-HDR went on sale at the end of last week with home deliveries already arriving at homes since early Monday morning. So what can you expect to find when opening the box? Thanks to our enthusiastic readers we have photos of the box contents.
As you can see it pretty much comes with everything you need this time, including batteries. We see from these pictures the Foxsat-HDR also comes with a 2 meter HDMI cable. Please remember this when buying the box, especially if ordering online as we have seen some etailers are still recommending buying such a cable at an additional £20; and in some cases even adding an additional HDMI cable automatically to your shopping basket which you have to un-tick yourself!
Its rather peculiar that product unboxing on the internet has become increasingly popular, especially for sought after products and eager beavers. All we can say is there must be some very bored office workers out there! If you are one of them – enjoy!

Call me sad and bored if you like
Glad I’m seeing this now. Looks like I need to stop by B&Q on the way home for aerial satellite cable. Why aren’t these provided?
Mine arrived this morning and I can’t wait to get home!
This is what it says on satbuyers website “Initial batch now sold sorry. 350 units sold within 6 minutes!”
Wow, this was very useful. I’ve honestly never unboxed items before, so to see a full five minutes worth of instruction was brilliant.
Many thanks, keep up the good work.
Ted.
I got my hands on a box recently and actually paid for it, then I was told, installation costs £149.95, how can this be justified? “Normal” Foxsat installation is less then £80.00, surely the installation of the extra cable for the dual receiver cannot cost £70.00, got my money back and resolved to wait 3 months for Freeview high definition broadcasts and sets.
The Maplin website has a pre-order section which you can purchase from. 256 are due in 16th Jan 2009 but they are already sold (I am number 257 – I am number 257) but a new batch is due for delivery 23rd Jan 2009. Maplin have told me that this is the fastest selling system they have ever had so watch out Sky!
