Why does QVC have LIVE in the corner of the regular QVC channel? Is this someting new? I just noticed it today.

@Kelsey1995 Yes. This is fairly new. The LIVE is to indicate the show is Live and no pre-recorded. We have Live and pre-recorded shows on QVC2.

@gracie2014

If you click on the "Shop QVC TV" link at the top of this page & click on the "Channel down arrow, you will see there are 3 different channels.

You can watch all 3 channels on your computer and/or mobile devices.

@Paulette-QVC But this LIVE stamp in the top corner is happening on the primary channel where all programming is already supposed to be live. Or, is QVC changing again and will present previously recorded presentations on the primary channel again, like that early morning "test" that occurred a couple of months ago?

@gracie2014 I will do my best to explain. There are currently three QVC Channels. 1. The original or primary QVC channel is Live all the time. 2. What was QVC Plus is not QVC 2. This channel has some pre-recorded and Live shows. 3. Beauty IQ which is also Live programming Monday through Friday 8pm to Midnight.

None of the channels have merged.

I hope this information is helpful.

@Caaareful Shopper We are aware the LIVE sign is on the primary QVC channel. The LIVE sign is if viewers question if the show is LIVE or not regardless of what channel they are watching.

You will notice the LIVE sign on Beauty IQ and QVC 2 as well.

I haven't tuned in for a day or so now but if the LIVE text is going to be a permanent feature it needs to go. It is extremely distracting and a tacky throwback to the beginning of home shopping networks. QVC should worry more about making channel number two high definition and watchable (meaning crystal clear to a viewer) rather then worrying viewers on the main channel are too ignorant to know what is going on. Hosts always mention its live television what more does a viewer need? If they can't realize this the channel certainly can't help them with the smarts.

I didn't notice it until you all pointed it out. I tend to look at the people or the graphic.

I also thought Q2 was all live as well. I thought it went all live on 4/1. Wasn't that the big announcement?

So confusing!

@Winter Holiday I also agree with your point that it looks tacky and amateurish, harkening back to late night home shopping.

@Winter HolidayI totally agree. The original QVC has always been live so there is no need to have "live" on the screen as it is distracting and tacky looking. As far as Q2 that is fine to say wheather it is live or pre-recorded. As far as Beauty IQ I only get that on my PC and I don't care for it at all. It reminds me when home shopping channels first started, very bad broad casting. There is no interaction just looking at a camera and selling. It's kind of strange to me.

I agree. I want to add my 2 cents in case these posts are taken into consideration. I do not like it at all. It is too big and it's constantly moving in some way, whether the letters are turning or whatever. It's very distracting and I do not like it at all. If they must do it, put it in the bottom corner and make it smaller. Thank you OP for bringing this up.

All I want to see in the corner is FREE SHIPPING. The rest is just cosmetics to cover up.

Moderator:

If regular (original) QVC is LIVE all the time, why indicate that at all? And what difference does it make if it's not live, there are still phone operators manning the phone lines~!?

If the sign LIVE must be reflected due to administration thinking it will matter, then at least stop the "animation" ... as others mentioned, it is a distraction,

Now 30% of my TV screen has some sort of graphic (e.g., price, Item #, chart on bottom of screen indicating sizes selling out, etc.) and now this annoying LIVE sign.

Re: LIVE

Paulette-QVC — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 22:23:13 GMT

@seaBreeze

Due to customer feedback concerning when shows are "Live" on the different channels, QVC decided to implement the "LIVE" sign on screen.

I will forward your concern in reagards to the animation of the "Live sign being a distraction and graphics take up 30% of the screen as feedback for future consideration.

How does one get to be a part of a Live event? Do they sell tickets?
