Is QVC playing reruns of shows I was just watching a couple of hours ago! I fell asleep shortly after one o'clock this morning watching Amy Stran hosting an accessories show....just woke up around four to the same show!! Am I going crazy.........

I noticed the same thing but upon closer look, the TV screen said 'pre-recorded.' I think that's a first for QVC as they have always prided themselves as always being 'live.'

Have a good day. docsgirl

Nope - I just woke up and I'm seeing the "previously recorded" message in the upper left corner of my screen.

Doesn't matter to me because I had turned my TV off about 24 hours ago so I could go to a Superbowl party.

No idea why they're not live though.

It can be flu season there too.

They might have been having technical difficulties and switched to a recorded show.

I remember one snow storm and no one could get to QVC to host. I think it was Dan Wheeler who had to work like 5 or 6 hours straight. Those were the days.

The cause for the recorded programming may not have been a host that could not make it in, or a technical difficulty at all. Check out the QVC Program Guide here online. Show titles are repeated all morning until 6am all week.

Is this the new normal for QVC? Perhaps they want to end the graveyard shift so they can rotate hosts more in daytime hours(??)

Both HSN and Evine have been showing "previously recorded" shows during the night for quite awhile. Not surprised that QVC would follow.

I noticed that too and wondered if Q isn't doing this to save a little extra cash for their bottom line.

I thought maybe it was because of the superbowl show.

I was pleasantly surprised. I missed a few segments of a couple of the shows and was happy that I was able to watch what I missed. I'm thinking that it could occasionally be a good idea, especially if the pre-recorded shows are fashions or particularly popular TSV(s).

Well, that's a first for Qvc. They always boasted about being live 24/7 with no pre-recorded shows. It seems like those days are over. Not that it matters at all. Shoppers don't care, we only want to see the merchandise.

I care. I don't watch any late night shows on channels like Evine because they're repeats. I live on the west coast, so the reruns start in the evening.

@Caaareful Shopper Some of us have been suggesting they go to pre-recorded shows because so many times the presentations seem like infomercials and we're turning to other channels. I hope they start doing that during the day, too. I see no reason to have 3 or 4 two hour each Josie Maran shows (for example). The products are all the same.
