I’m so BORED...

Loveshawaii — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 12:33:56 GMT

I’m sorry but I am so BORED with the same programming lately!! I HATE that HSN & QVC are sharing the same guests/products! It’s obnoxious and it leaves less variety/choices for us!
Harry on HSN, blah. Beekman on QVC, blah.
I love them both but I do NOT need them on two channels. It’s too much & I tune out. ESP if I don’t like the product in the first place, now I’m stuck with it on two channels!? UGH. I tune out & turn off. Get some new brands/new products will you please!? Stop forcing the same thing down our throats. VARIETY PLEASE. Not the same thing on HSN & QVC, bad enough it’s the same thing on Q2.
I’m buying WAY less than I used to. Again...because I’m BORED!
Well that’s my two cents.... 😂

@Loveshawaii

Totally agree with your post. Too much. Can’t keep track who’s on what! Too much overlap. I liked the separate channels. Now it a conglomeration of the same products being shoved down my throat!

I am also buying less and less.

I could not agree more! I have no desire to watch Beekman and others that both channels have on. I am bored to death with all the repeats of products. I am watching Evine more now just to get away from the same old same old. We need variety!!

I know. I just don't bother tuning in anymore and just check recent programs out on line. If something of interest sells out before I see it, then so be it. I can usually find it elsewhere.

I remember back in the day the Q would have all day craft/project shows or the 50/50 tours. I would take a day off work to watch. Now the programming is repetitive and redundant. There is no uniqueness.

I have stopped watching for the most part, except Linea, gold jewelry. I use the web.

It was more interesting when HSN and QVC had thir own identities; now they're moving toward becoming the same. I think one or the other will be gone within the year.

I am not a HSN customer and I appreciate that QVC has VARIETY.. It is easy. Do not shop on two channels, choose one and stay with it.

Having these products on both QVC and HSN is a big, big, bore. It used to be go to one and get items and then go to the other and get other items. Now it is one show on two stations. Boring.

Don't forget, not only on HSN, but on QVC and then on QVC2. Greed, Greed, Greed.

By the way, flipping through channels this morning, on QVC2 was Beekman. Shawn was the host. What a mess. She was introducing the Beekman men and she touched one of heads of the guys. She acted like she was a partner in their product. Annoying, had to change the channel but it did not matter since they were on the original channel of QVC.

This is all a mess. QVC and HSN spend so much time with the TSV that all day long

it is on.

Getting too big and messing up in a lot of ways.

I wonder if Joy Mangano and IMAN are gone already from HSN. For the past month/month and a half all you see is Joy's products on clearance.

That is unusual for JOY, she always has new products. If she comes on QVC there will be a lot of competition for attention.

Could you see Susan Graver and Joy Mangano together. It would be non stop talking.

@bdoby I read here that Joy Mangano and iMan both got the boot from HSN.

I agree 100%. I don't often watch either channel and just watch the videos for products in which I'm interested. And both channels now have TSV's that are expensive for the most part. Either you have to buy 2 of something or they're just plain old expensive. And TSV's repeat, repeat, repeat! Rarely anything new, interesting, or even affordable.

I also dislike the showing of the same products on both channels. Both channels are getting totally boring. I am watching less and buying less. Also, with QVC it takes 5 or so days for an item to ship. With other sites I use, items ship the same day.

I started watching HSN when Lisa R. left QVC and I really enjoyed that channel. The hosts were good and they had lots ov variety. I discovered Victoria Weick on that channel and Andrew Lessman. It has changed so much that I reallly don't watch Q or HSN. There are certain products that I will order from time to time on Q but I go on line. I am really liking JTV. I have ordered several rings in the last few months and I like all of them.

On QVC, I mainly watch SG and LDO. On HSN, I watch their craft shows and cooking shows when they have professional chefs on. And I enjoy the Beekman guys on HSN, especially when they are pair with a certain host (sorry, I can't recall her name but I believe she might have previously been on Evine). Beyond that, I no longer watch all that much of either (and none of Evine or any other shopping channel).

@Loveshawaii ITA, and if that weren't bad enough, When I checked my ATT U-Verse program guide yesterday (April 1), they've now added HSN-2 to it! So now I can be bored 4 times as much as before.......Q-1, Q-2, HSN-1, and HSN-2. I actually watch ShopLC more than any of them, though.

I see QVC is getting a lot of new products online, many more brands not carried before. Not sure why they keep showing the same things over and over on air.

Re: I’m so BORED...

sophiesofers — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 16:56:53 GMT

I agree and problem solved, I just don't watch anymore. Especially with the nice weather now, there is just so much more to do than watch all that TV, especially when its as repetative like you just said.

Re: I’m so BORED...

Spurt — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 17:59:14 GMT

I agree ....I check the Program Guide and there's only a few limited vendors/shows I watch anymore....QVC's redundant programming and montonous TSV showings during the same show does not entice me to watch nor buy....

Re: I’m so BORED...

libbyannE — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 18:29:36 GMT

You’re right. As I’ve said before, I stopped watching long ago. I cannot imagine what “brilliant” Powers That Be think it’s smart to repeat, repeat, repeat the same brands and products ad nauseum. That’s the kind of “smart thinking” that helped kill bricks-and-mortar retail shopping, too. Same stuff everywhere.

I have to agree with this thread—QVC is really missing opportunities to sell more items and retain/gain viewers through its lack of variety. And very little effort would be required to add variety; there are hundreds if not thousands of items in the Q's existing inventory that have never been aired, and there are hundreds added each week that rarely, if ever, get airtime.

As a further example, I enjoy the kitchen/cooking shows and have endured them for a long time even with all the repeated products and presentations, but there are so many shows now that I don't even try to tune in for all of them. There are lots of complaints about various hosts and guests in this category, but for me, they're not the problem. The lack of new and different products is what has made my interest wane.
