GIVING UP ON QVC2

Shanus — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 14:52:41 GMT

My cable co. does not broadcast it in HD. It’s difficult to watch and read the item #s and description. I also find many of the shows are pre-recorded, even though the cable describes them as “new”. It’s just too much of the same drivel on the original QVC.

I’m sure my other activities can keep me occupied enough so that I’ll just record a few shows I’m really interested in on Q. BTW, we don’t get Beauty IQ either....No, not interested in watching any of the 3 on my IPAD.

I agree that if I didn’t get it in HD, I wouldn’t watch it either. But I get it in HD on my Roku streaming service and recently it has been a great addition to the main QVC channel.

Live programming starts as early as 10AM on some days (like today), and 12noon on other days. It hasn’t always offered this much live programming, but now a lot of the seasoned hosts are there because of all the newly hired hosts.

Today, when I want to watch between the other things I have planned, I get the choice to see something other than the 100 presentations of the Vitamix on the main channel.

I don't get it in HD so I find it hard to view , So hard to see the product well and read too. I hardly ever watch it and only if it is an item I really want to see.

Why have a second channel at all if Comcast does not pick it up in big cities? I have never seen it.

I don't get it in HD, but I adjust the resolution from the changer to fit the screen better (a nice poster here showed me how to do that). I enjoyed YHJ last night, and am glad I have the option.

For years with no such thing as HD, it doesn't kill me to watch non.

@SeaMaiden, probably because other providers carry the channel. Comcast is not the one and only.

shanus, thank you for explaining this. i knew something was wrong, with the look of the picture, because it's not clear. i stopped trying to "see" the shows on the qvc2 channel a long time ago.

i wonder why the cable company doesn't broadcast it in hd? is it a cost thing?

is this why the volume is much lower on that channel also?

maybe now that qvc is adding more live programming they will see if something can be done about this.

I like Q2, I don't get it in HD, but I don't care.

I don't care for the other two channels. Too many repeated programs. They should have improved the original QVC channel instead of adding more. Sometimes the Beauty channel is pretty good, but the next time I tune in it is the same program repeated.

The view times I have passed this station it seems their are always close ups on everyone. Don't understand QVC2

I live in the city of Chicago and get Comcast. QVC 2 is not part of my channel lineup. What is shocking is HSN2 as well as Evine 2 are part of the channel lineup. You would think they would drop HSN2 and Evine 2 and just broadcast QVC2

I have Comcast. I can't get it on TV and don't care enough to watch it on my computer.

I already buy too much stuff from QVC.

Why not all 3. One station for each seems to be enough.

I don't get QVC2 at all on Xfinity. I'm not going to watch it on-line either.

We get it here in HD but I still do not ever watch it or hsn2. Just no interest since I watch the Q or HSN.

I gave up on it also. If what puts you apart from Amazon is that you go live on tv make that tv experience top notch. I watch YouTube videos that have more clarity than that.

I am in the Cleveland area and my provider is Spectrum. I do get Q2 in HD.

I just posted in another thread that Mary DeAngelis said that Q2 is doing more live programming now.

They will be live from noon until midnight on weekdays and 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. on weekends.

I do not get Beauty IQ at all.

In case anyone isn't already aware of this, you can get QVC, QVC2, and Beauty IQ in high definition through a Q app that is available for Roku devices and the Amazon Fire stick. The hosts have started mentioning this lately, which I think is smart—that's how I've been watching Q and Q2 for a long time now (I have no interest in Beauty IQ). The app definitely has its glitches, but it has been improving fairly consistently. I can barely get a standard-def QVC feed via my over-the-air antenna and can't get Q2 at all, so I love using the app on my big TV instead of trying to watch on a small device screen.

Just thought I'd share in case it is helpful...

@Daysdee - For what it's worth, Q2 has expanded to offer a lot more live programming than it used to. You can now catch new shows Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 6:00 p.m. to midnight ET, Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to midnight ET, and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET—so on many days, it's just the really early and really late hours when programs are repeated. I think the variety of shows has also improved dramatically.
