Clare Newsome:IIRC, you'd have needed to subscribe by @28th August for your sub to start with this issue

D'oh! You mean I'll actually have to walk into a shop and interact with humans? <shudder>
 
margetti:The November magazine is there, just no sign of any glasses. Guess because its a Metro store? No problems, like you say Clare, there's no shortage of stores.

Well we've sent Tesco gazillions of bagged copies (with glasses) - how they choose to distribute them across their stores is, sadly, a mystery to me (involving complex algorithms said to feature in the next Dan Brown novel). But bigger Tesco stores are your best bet, I'd wager, to find the special, bagged issues.

Quick paranoid thought re wholesalers: just so I can double-check that your Tesco store wasn't sent, say, WHSmith copies, can you please let me know which Metro it was?
 
Got my magazine today and free glasses - Many thanks WHF Team - will enjoy tweaking my Telly tomorrow just to see how far of I was!!

Again many thanks.
 
margetti:Hi Clare, it is Goodge Street Metro (10-16 Goodge St, W1T 2QB)

Have had confirmation that they've had their bagged November issues, with glasses. Maybe the one you saw had been 'debagged'

It's not what they've got on display at the moment, unless they've got another display somewhere, and then I'll be seriously

House to myself this evening so looking forward to some tuning (have noticed the whites are too bright with the Pioneer BDP over the PS3) and a blu-ray or two

pwiles1968:I will be off to Tesco tomorow.

Is it only Tesco that has the Glasses? Went in to the one nearest work and they had no WHF on the shelf and customer service could not even tell me if they stocked it.
 
I was over the moon when I saw that there was a free gift with What
HiFi this month even more excited that it was a pair of THX optimisor
specs, weird too because I was looking on ebay for a pair the day
before!

The only downside is and I am wondering if anyone else
felt the same, I was really disappointed the only thing that I couldn't
change was ............... the page on me calibrating test disk that
needed the glasses noooooooooooo.

For Some reason my Sony 32 KDL32d3000 will only allow me to change the Hue if I am using NTSC input,

gutted!

Just thought I wold get that off me chest!!
 
Tint/hue isn't always an adjustable option, but it would be a very rare telly that doesn't have a colour option - which does require the glasses.
 
Am I the only person who cant get hold of this months issue?

I've been to Tesco Extra and metro yesterday and today but both still havent got them on the shelves. Actually tesco extra are still displaying last months issues.

Don't think ive ever been this keen to get a copy of WHF.
 
Can you please tell me which branches of Tesco you tried, so I can feed that info back to our circ. department?

As mentioned earlier, we know all stores have had their copies, complete with clear instructions re the on-sale date being yesterday - when they put them out, however, is up to them.
 
On a follow-up note... If you want the THX Optimiser glasses but can't find an issue in Tesco, we've secured some extra stocks, which are available for £6 (including postage and packing) from our subscription dept's eBay store here

OK cool I have just had a look at that and yes I do have colour settings that I have changed but its still not right, no matter how hard I try I can still see a line going through the middle of the the blocks (am using Star Wars Episode 2 clone wars) I am tumped by this I have the same problem on the telly upstairs too, I have calibrated my set as best I could and I want it better, am I doing something wrong here or am I being too picky??

I really appreciated your reply btw thank you 🙂

All the best and any help or pointing in the right direction would be great

If it's anything like round here, you're probably just about being delivered last week's post, let alone this week's
