Just got the wrong one the hyt one in santry. Seems like they don't have any left at all of the hxt ones. Options are to keep it or could I wait for a week to see if they get the other one in and do a swap?

braddun · 27-12-2014 6:19pm

hitachi don't make tvs any more

I am trying to find out who makes it

27-12-2014 6:49pm

Just checked a reservation there and it was a hyt model. They have no hyx at all but there's a browser and netflix button on the remote it's also black.

Can anyone else shed some more light?

Maybe or maybe not. There are a number of shops that have more than 5 in stock now. These shops had 1 or 2 on Christmas day, and were out of stock at 11.30pm last night. I have my doubts that there would be that many non-collections. Anyway I hope its good news for some people.

it seems to be the thing now on boards to reserve any bargain asap
if if you don't want to buy it.

hence the whole argos reservations thread

deegs · 27-12-2014 9:16pm

Yep, these TVs are a special promotion pretending stock is limited is an old trick.
I agree, think are new stock.

Yes.

Hellywelly · 28-12-2014 6:14pm

I kept the Y model. But didn't get the wifi dongle & none available now.
Would chromecast work instead?

I am brutal with technology so apologies if this an exceptionally dumb questi on. Thanks!

Don't know about that particular model, but it is illegal for Currys to sell it without specifically stating that will not tune in the Saorview channels. If it has a Freeview HD tuner it will tune in the Saorview channels, even though it may not be Saorview approved. In any case, I doubt very much that Currys would sell a non-saorview tv.

tippgirl123 · 30-12-2014 3:54am

Dongles are out of stock everywhere. If you had a wifi extender which you cud connect a Ethernet cable to, would that work. Or as someone mentioned above using chrome cast??
Also the price is showing at 299.99 on the deals section but is 309 when u go to reserve and buy. So does anyone have a reservation number for dundrum with the old price

Standard Toaster · 30-12-2014 12:02pm

Anyone know where I might find a compatible wifi dongle for it online?
