After returning my last one because of faults I thought I'd try again hoping they have improved. Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock at Argos Dixon's and Curry's, DABS don't stock them. Have they been withdrawn?

Not withdrawn, selling like hotcakes!
Good bit of kit in my view, had one since they were launched.

I've not been impressed with this units HDMI output to my Philips TV. There is a lipsync error on HD source material which cannot be corrected by the internal lip sync settings. The aspect ratio does not work correctly with 4:3 source material and can't be overridden by the remote (I believe the SCART output is OK, but not tested this). Also SD source material looks a bit soft. These problems appear to vary dependent on what type of TV it is feeding (note: I'm using TV as a generalisation as my Philips is a Plasma).

I would check around various forums to see if anyone has commented on your TV when used with a Foxsat, I wish I had.


There is an update (1.00.10) awaiting broadcast - probably Monday evening/night.
