Any have problem watch live tv video on iPad?

Tshirtgal — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 01:24:00 GMT

Last week my iPad stopped allowing me to watch live tv video. I can watch the product videos just fine. I switched from Safari and tried Google Chrome browsers and no luck. The technical questions on the Q website offers no solution. And, my live chat does not work. Does anyone have the same problem? Solution? I am waiting for an email from the Q. Other websites are just fine - just a problem here.

Yep, I gave up and switched to my phone. Working fine there. Whenever Lori or a popular show is on QVC has problems. Aggravating.

Since one of my TVs is on the blink, I've tried watching the local evening live newscast. Some nights it's reasonably decent, some not so much. I've tried using my iPad, Kindle Fire HDX and Samsung S2. I've used various video streaming and have not found a really good one. The whole process is iffy at best and I often abandon the pads to go watch a TV in another room.

I haven't been able to watch QVC on my iPad for several days.

As a workaround for the live feed not working in an ipad browser, use the QVC ipad app to watch QVC or QVC Plus live.

Another alternative is to use the Youtube app to watch QVCtv live on the QVCtv channel. They only broadcast QVC's main channel not QVC Plus.

Mindy, go to your Settings app, scroll down to Safari, then Advanced, and be sure that the Javascript button is toggled to the on position (so it is green) in order to be able to watch videos with the Safari browser on your ipad mini or any ipad.

Yes, having a problem on my iPad watching QVC TV for several months. Prior to that time frame, it was fine. I tried a chat with QVC, with NO response back.

The bottom line is this ....... This problem translates to a LOSS in sales ! Come on people.

@Mindy D,

It would help if you'd tell us what happens when you try to view a product video... and also if we all could look at the same one to see if we can view it.

I went to the items recently on air, and randomly chose

Item A271873 Alegria Leather Printed Lace-up Ankle Boots - Eliza.

I can see the video with no problem on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5 (iOS 9.2).

here's the link to try: http://www.qvc.com/Alegria-Leather-Printed-Lace-up-Ankle-Boots---Eliza.product.A271873.html?sc=A271873-24HR&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-3-_-A271873&catentryImage=http://images.qvc.com/is/image/a/73/a271873.001?$uslarge$

~~~~~~~~~~~~

In general:

Be sure you have the most recent version of iOS

and also

Regularly go into Settings, Safari, and tap "Clear History and Website Data" and tap "Clear" when you see the popup.

Then, still under Safari be sure to tap "Advanced," then tap "Website Data," and delete all website data there.

Also, if your connection is slow that could cause problems. Use an app (like SpeedTest.net) to be sure you're getting the speed and quality you expect and need.

Hi, @Steeler 20! Please see both of my responses. I can view the live streaming QVC and the product videos now, on my iPad 3 and my iPhone 5 (iOS 9.2), so it seems to be fixed now.

Sorry, I thought I wrote what the problem is. The video starts and stops. I can only see short parts of the videos. I have updated to IOS 9.2, no change. I checked the videos on the Q App and in Safari. I've written to QVC for help. Why me? I have plenty of storage and my iPad is just turning one year old.

@Mindy D, I'm sorry you're having problems, I know it's frustrating. In this case, you might be seeing a problematic internet connection. If so, there are several things you can try to fix it, but you need to check it first. Whether it's WiFi or a cellular connection, did you try what I suggested:

"If your connection is slow that could cause problems. Use an app (like SpeedTest.net) to be sure you're getting the speed and quality you expect and need."

I'm finding the same issue across the board with brands. Whether Apple on iPod Touch 5th gen, Kindle Fire HD (2014), or my LG Sunset phone live streaming only shows an empty studio, Roku Stick HDMI, or Roku 3 I can get live streaming, but it is constantly pausing and loading, popping up with a, "Are you still watching?" message, or "Network Error".

I took the app off the Roku's, and I've been going to their YouTube channel, QVCTV, and watching the live stream. On the earlier version of Apple TV this is the only way I can watch, sonce there's no app.

@Ane1Care, Have you tested the speed and quality of your internet connection on the mobile devices?

I use the SpeedTest.net app. I just checked, and my results right now are Ping 23 ms, Download 39.40 Mbps, and Upload 18.58 Mbps.

(eta: Also, be sure you've freed up storage space on the devices, for any needed caching, and that you have the most current version of the operating system.)

Doing that makes no difference on my Ipad Air. Videos start then go black. Been happening for months now.
