Alltrade Distributes Humax DTR-T1000 YouView Set-Top Box (18/9/2012)

The new Humax DTR-T1000 YouView set-top box is available now from leading aerial and satellite equipment distributor, Alltrade.

Alltrade, the UK’s leading distributor of aerial, satellite and related products is an authorised distributor for Humax and now a key distributor for the eagerly awaited Humax DTR-T1000 YouView set top boxes. The eagerly awaited boxes are available now for next-day delivery or from any one of Alltrade’s five trade counters or 11 affiliated distributors.

This exciting new technology brings online TV content to the living room in a format as easy to use as traditional broadcast TV. With YouView backed by all four public service broadcasters and the DTR-T1000 recorder crammed with features such as easy access catch-up TV, the technology is set to become a major part of the UK’s free-to-view TV landscape. The DTR-T1000 will be one of the key highlights at the Alltrade 2012 Trade Show in Surrey on the 11th October.

Comments Steve Simper, MD of Alltrade: “YouView is one of the most exciting opportunities for the industry for some time. Sales will grow very quickly on the strength of the marketing clout of its proponents such as BT and the BBC as well as features unique to YouView such as 7-day scroll-back TV on the main EPG. This means users do not have to fiddle with ‘apps’ such as iPlayer or 4OD. Not only is YouView a great prospect in its own right, there is also plenty of opportunity for add-on sales and service for retailers and installers alike. For example customers can be offered YouView in any room in their home with our plug and play Homeplug Powerline kits which provide Ethernet and wireless networking utilising the mains cables already within a home.”

Alltrade is actively promoting new areas of revenue for installers and retailers now that the switchover boom has come to a natural end. Whilst maintaining a massive and comprehensive selection of cable, satellite and aerial installation products the company also specialises in commercial areas such as MATV & SMATV with support and planning services available. In addition the company also carries a comprehensive range of HDMI distribution equipment, in home audio and Solar PV products amongst others. Alltrade prides itself on its excellent customer service, large stockholding across its five UK warehouses and trade counters, competitive pricing and free technical support.

The company offers free next working day delivery on orders over £100 and it operates its own fleet of vehicles. For regular customers within the catchment area of the fleet any size order will be delivered free of charge.
