QVC's Main Channel

QueenofTheQ — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 09:41:21 GMT

I'm having issues with QVC's main channel for the past few days. The main channel has all kinds of interference in the picture but QVC 2 and QVC 3 and all other channels on my TV are fine. It is only QVC's main channel that is unwatchable right now. Is anyone else having this problem? I can't recall if it started before or after I learned of the IT outage going on in the country. But QVC 2 is fine. Very strange. I have Verizon Fios as my cable provider but this is only a QVC main channel issue.

@QueenofTheQ

No, I have not had this issue.

Same here. I have Verizon FIOS too. No problem usually. But in the past, the picture from Q would break up momentarily and then resume as normal picture.. But lately no problems.

I have not noticed anything when I have had it on; however, I didn't have it on for long bouts yesterday.

@QueenofTheQ - I'm having trouble accessing the main channel too. I can access Q2 no problem. Strange indeed.

I watch QVC & HSN on their streaming channel via Roku.

None of the QVC channels are coming in at all, but the HSN channels are fine.

Earlier this morning, everything was fine. I watched AM Style and the start of SMQ. But then, it froze, then blue screen, and now nothing. But I can still get HSN.

@Caaareful Shopper - I also have Roku. I was able to get the main Q channel this morning. Now I can only watch Q2.

@San Antonio Gal This is so weird. I wonder if there are still transmission issues resulting from yesterday's global outage.

We couldn't work at all yesterday -- teleworkers nor those that work in the office. We kept getting our emergency automated calls about every 2 hours, but with no changes in the status until after 5:00pm. That's when they told us the offices will be back open on Monday (we're typically open 7 days/week).

I bet it is @Caaareful Shopper . If not, it sure is coincidental.

Hopefully things back to normal for your job by Monday.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I called support and they told me to check with my ISP because everything is fine on their end. I can't watch OTA, Plutotv, QVC+/HSN+ app, or in the QVC app but HSN works fine not to mention what does my ISP have to do with OTA? They were kind of rude.

@Caaareful Shopper. I've watched QVC on Roku with no problem most of the morning, until I couldn't stand it anymore.

@Kachina624

It's still out for me. Watching HSN's CIJ presentations. But to me, HSN has the cheapest, most unattractive Christmas decor items. Everything is from a lesser brand, that cuts corners on their features. Very interesting.

@Caaareful Shopper. I just realized I was watching on YouTubeTV, not the qvc/hsn combo. I was not able to get the main channel but could get Q2.

I can gett QVC 2, but I still cannot get the main channel. I cannot even get it here on their website under "Watch QVC TV."

There are also posts on Facebook because of the apparent outage. No QVC Live on Facebook either, just a blank.

Mods -- these are not isolated incidents. There's definitely something wrong with the transmission somewhere.

I posted this on another thread, but it's probably related to any connection issues some of you may be experiencing.

There was an international internet outage reported in the news that affected thousands of businesses of all kinds around the world. Check out keywords Crowdstrike Global IT Outage for specific details. It was bad with airlines, banks, and hospitals among the key businesses impacted, but retailers and broadcasters such as TV networks and QVC were not immune. You couldn't even place a Starbucks coffee order ahead.

It is Crowdstrike not Cloudstrike. FYI

@Kachina624 I haven't had any issues but in late afternoon I turned it on to be greeted by JT shaking her hips and then jumped and I thought Lordy Lordy. Turned it off and haven't turned it back on.

@BalletBabe I'd hate to risk that image being burned permanently into my TV screen.

@elated I KNOW THAT. Forgive the error. Sometimes AI takes over typing and I'm getting terrible at proofreading. FYI I went back and corrected the error.
