Is something going on with QVC cameras?

On QVC2 and QVC3, EVERY host and guest looks crazy thin. Is something going on with focal lengths or something else manipulating the images? Are my eyes deceiving me? I flip over to QVC and the same host looks different, more believable.

You can change the "ZOOM" (sometimes called "aspect") button on your remote control, to change the broadcast picture to the proper size.

I have noticed that for some time when watching Q2 & Q3, they seem to stretch the images on the screen, I believe it has to do with your cable provider, I could be wrong, we have Spectrum cable.

My provider shows Q2 and Q3 in SD (standard definition), as opposed to HD (high definition) on the QVC Main channel.

@Tobyzeke Some older TV sets and equipment may not be compatible with High Definition broadcasts, so some Standard Definition channels cater to these viewers. Also, cost considerations: Broadcasting in HD requires more expensive equipment and infrastructure, so some stations may opt to continue offering some SD channels to manage costs.

Spectrum cable didn't carry some channels in HD, so the pictures looked stretched out. Now we have Direct TV and QVC, Q2 and others are all the correct in size.

If there's a studio at QVC that's sucking the fat out of people, I want to go there.

I noticed that on QVC and QVC2, too, but it's just been recently I have been seeing it. Although, hosts and models claim they are wearing the same size, they said quite a few times when selling something how stretch help the pounds put on over the holidays.

I did see hosts, though, not all of them, who looked like they put on weight over the holidays, specifically, around the middle, and hips including the upper thighs. A few hosts, too.

Looked up types of TV cameras. The most sophisticated can make people look normal, thinner, or heavier by setting them.

@Kachina624 some of the hosts need to have that happen. I notice the hosts who do the food shows are piling on the pounds. RB was a size r when she came to the Q. Now she's a size 8. Sane with JB and MB and MD

I thought all of the hosts were either XS or XXS including Rick Domeir.

@Teddixat. I noticed recently when Rachel raised her shirt to show a waistband, she now has a little "pooch". She used to be flat as a washboard in front.

@Kachina624 I remember Rachel when she was a weather reporter in Los Angeles and she was very slim and when she arrived at QVC doing the fashion shows with Pat and Jane she was a size 4. Those food shows are not good for the waistline. JB has also gained quite a bit too.

I think Rachel looks great. Jane, Jayne and Leah really have let themselves go.
