Be Prepared For More Tech Overkill......

Spurt — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 15:29:36 GMT

In QVC's latest financial report their one bright spot in sales was electronics, and todays TSV of a computer is just the start...Looking at the Program Guide for Q and Q2, batton down the hatches as QVC prepares for a BOMBARDMENT of Tech Shows in the next couple of weeks (Todays Top Tech and Smart Home)....Just another example of OVER SATURATION and OVERKILL.. But for me, and I know many others all they are doing is driving viewers away!!! I for one will NOT be watching..

What's interesting is electronics and beauty shows were the majority of products shown on HSN which caused their dramatic financial nosedive...and when HSN became part of the Qurate Corp...the first thing they did was nix the bombardment of electronics and throw in more variety in HSN's programing in the hopes of reversing their decline.... But now QVC seems to be headed down that same REDUNDANT path...SMH!! Oh well QVC ....I'll be watching other channels, and exploring other retail options...

Show of hands, how many just cant wait for MORE electronic programming of computers, Halo car/phone chargers, security systems, Alexa, lighting and the like etc etc ....

Electronic shows are my least favorite to watch. A sure channel changer for me.

I don't buy my electronics from QVC, so I'll pass.

Well I for one was checking out those Halo car chargers on Q's website.

Checked Amazon too.

For the ones I was interested in (X-mas gifts), Q & A prices were the same. However, if you are a Amazon PRIME member, you do come out cheaper w/the FREE s&h along w/those clipped % off coupons.

Will be checking out the B&M electronic stores in my area to compare.

@Spurt So do I. I have to wear blinders when I go to BestBuy. Otherwise, I will leave there w/everything including what's left in their stock room.

I would not purchase a computer on line. I would have to buy it locally so I can have help setting it up if needed

@Spurt It doesn't matter to me what they decide to air because I no longer watch QVC except for a very few, carefully selected clothing shows. I'm not remotely interested in electronics or beauty and that seems to be most of the programming.

@Spurt Thanks for the heads up! I won't be watching or recording those shows either.

Today's TSVs are not made yet. David explained they would be made "especially for me in April" 🙄. Figure that in w/ a possible waitlist or slow shipping and it will be an outdated computer before it hits the front porch.

For me it's Best Buy, support if needed after the purchase. My local BB is great, big turn around in the last few years.

@Spurt .. QVC would be the last place I would purchase any electronics .. they tend to sell out dated models at ridiculous prices.

I would never purchase a computer on line or from a shopping channel. You need a professional to set it up. Online help is the worst..
