Hudl2: 8" Andriod Tablet for £109 from TescoDirect via Parcelmotel

Snake Plisken

Yeah I got mine yesterday morning from Parcelmotel very happy with it, it did get an update once connected to wifi signed in using my gmail account and it downloaded some of the apps I have on my Moto G phone, screen quality is excellent and its s nice size. I hope everyone who ordered this get theirs before Xmas!

Thanks a mill - did anyone in the Republic manage to get their clubcard boost to work with this? £65 is an unreal price

Where did you get a Hudl2 for £65? Its £129 on the Tesco site.

Very happy with my Hudl no major issues with it so far. To get rid of some of the Tesco stuff coming up on startup I recommend installing the Google Now launcher or Buzz launcher free from the play store.

It's half price using clubcard boost. I'm curious if the irish vouchers work on the UK site.

Really like it works fine nice and quick, installed xmbc and showbox on it. I stuck Buzz Launcher on to load customised skins and stop it starting up with all the Tesco apps on screen. Works fine with chromecast. Overall very happy with it.

I don't think there is one currently. 10 GBP is the best one at the moment. I'm happy to wait.

Got problems with charging the Hudl 2 that my daughter got for Christmas, it'll only properly charge when you turn it off Seems to be others affected too according to reports on forums, I've emailed Tesco so we'll see what the outcome is.

Aside from that its a nifty device and my daughter is delighted with it though the battery could last longer.

Btw Tesco Direct have an offer on atm for 33% off Hudl 2 accessories just enter TD-HFTP at check out.

Apparently Tesco are issuing a patch on the 5th of January to address the charging issue. I have to say I haven't noticed the issue then again I power it off and charge it overnight. Let's see what Monday brings!

Well just got my dispatched email from Tesco Direct, so doesn't seem to be that much of a backlog on sending orders out. Now the nervous wait to see if it arrives ok to Parcel Motel.

How long did it take to get to you from time of dispatch ?

8 days to my Parcel motel and that was December you might get it quicker then that hopefully as there were delays with PM in December.

Cheers

Do you know from previous experience that Tesco do £20 codes? I'm happy to wait too, but only if I think it might be on the way

Just as an aside- is there anyway to use the Aldi €10 off €50 shop voucher, can you use it to buy a Tesco giftcard and then spend that as part of the transaction?
