NOT A FULL DAY!!

Shanus — Sat, 11 Feb 2017 22:01:58 GMT

An entire day of either LOGO or IT....Wow. Maybe the 2 shows that are already on almost every day could be interrupted with something else? Just tooooo much!

If you think Logo is bad today, just wait until tomorrow when we have hours and hours of My Pillow. Now that is inhumane torture. I'm always in wonderment as to how someone can talk about a pillow that long. Jay King is on HSN tomorrow so I'll be looking at rocks, if I watch TV at all.

By the way, I tried My Pillow and hated it.

I can't help wondering if they operate on the premise that most people don't watch the channel 24/7.

I always felt like it was a consideration that maybe somebody gets up at 7am and watches, or at lunch time, after work, etc, but just not hour after hour after hour. That way, they would figure that everybody who wants to see any given product, or products, would find a time frame when they could.

That's what comes to mind, for me anyway, FWIW

I totally agree with both of you. I save lot of money...but it's soooo boring.

I've been watching repeats of the repeats (you get the picture) of Law and Order.

I also like watching Jay King and hearing his stories but I don't care for his jewelry designs (too 'crunchy' for me).

Does she really sell that many of those tops? They are pretty much the same with different pieces of material sewn on the bottom.

wash woman.

@Shanus I don't wear Logo, so I should probably b*tt out, but who on earth puts a thick ruffle around a woman's worst part of her body (at least for a good many of us). Some of her things are passable, but the TS is awful, IMO.

I have always assumed that they are aiming to catch people at various times in a 24 hr period, and that they're not programming for 24/7-ers. BUT - over the past 12-18 months, I'm finding that on "theme" days (and every day is now a theme day), I can see a show that doesn't interest me, turn to something else, and when I turn back maybe 3-4 hours later, or 4-5 hours after that, they're still showing the same mdse or type of mdse. So it's slowly become same-old same-old for probably 18 hrs out of 24 and is boring to someone who tunes in 8-10 hrs apart, never mind those who are "accused" of watching 24/7. It didn't use to be that way. And under those circumstances, I would neither know nor care if shows were repeated; even if they're not repeated...they ARE "repeats" anyway.

Shopping channels are no longer unique, people can buy the same mdse online, often for less money. There is competition and market-splitting between shopping channels. QVC has so far refused to economize where they maybe should have started - buying smaller quantities so they don't keep non-selling stock forever, much less elaborate sets, and less emphasis on "personality" hosts and vendors, and yes, pre-recorded programming.

For all those saying they will stop buying and stop watching - clearly they already have, before this ever came about. They're doing these shows because people aren't buying. They're doing a lot of things that former customers don't like - because they have been "former" customers for many months.

This is a downhill slide that nothing is going to suddenly, magically reverse. They aren't going to start hemorrhaging money to bring back items and situations that might increase revenue...a little. It wouldn't be enough. It could never be enough.

I have been forced to watch cable news and I get far angrier listening to that than I do getting sleepy watching hour after hour of Logo or Pillows.... I've also tried the History Channel until the repeats get to me (even tho I love history) .... I've even watched HGTV and the Make It Right Guy (I've learned a lot regarding houses).... but I keep switching it back to QVC like the habit it is. At least it's not all day, hour after hour, only while I'm working on the computer and I usually stop after 8 or 9 hours.....

Maybe I'll watch Ghost Hunters next.... but I only give that one about 20 minutes.....

ShowMe — Sat, 11 Feb 2017 23:20:23 GMT

Have never or never will I ever purchase anything from the TSV line......

Wish they would quit putting that in the items we have recommended for you at the bottom of their home page. For as long as I have purchased from the Q, they know what I like..... Certainly not some of those horrible shoes they are showing also. Can you see a 77 year old woman wearing some of the stuff they are trying to sell....

Another thing, SG......get so tired of seeing her things in e-mails and on the Q. You would think her line is so unique.....but really isn't. Much of it is like D&C....at least it looks that way to me.

I used to order quite a bit from the Q, but have cut way back on that.

There is a problem, and I haven't quite put my fingers on it yet...

I do not watch QVC during the day unless there is a TSV I want to see. We all know what to expect. Not many new items.

Hi to you @Shanus,

Maybe a couple hours or so ago, I replied to your 3 recording limit. Thus I am aware you have a time shifting device. Since you mentioned "conflicts", I am assuming you may have "previously recorded" shows on your device.

Now might be a good day for you to watch 1 or more of them. Again, the word "assume", that you record only shows you want to watch, right?

I'm out,

Okay,why did I just imagine a Logo shirt on a My Pillow?

I blame my insomnia.

I have been up for over 24 hours straight.

Re: NOT A FULL DAY!!

Shanus — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 04:40:31 GMT

@hckynut.....Yes, we do have a DVR. My problem is that if 2 shows are recording at the same time, it knocks out a 3rd show previously set to record. If I have set my DVR, for example, to record IT COSMETICS whenever it's on, the DVR doesn't know what's pre-recorded or not. It goes ahead and records the IT show during the night (pre-recorded) & if I had 2 other programs on other channels set to record over night, one of them gets knocked off. Confusing, but true. The DVRs have an option called "Series Manager" & you can pre-set shows to record as one time or every time they appear. That's the issue. So looks like we may be getting the Dish. Thanks for replying.

@Kachina624. Pillows most of the day? Say it isn't so!!! Wasn't there a big "to do" about the stuffing not being the same as advertised? Maybe pending legal actions? Hope these aren't the same pillows. Anyone have info? Not purchasing, just interested.

Re: NOT A FULL DAY!!

Shanus — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 05:02:05 GMT

@seaBreeze

Googled MY PILLOW. Class Action lawsuit just settled for claims that founder falsely claimed he was sleep expert & pillow could cure leg cramps, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, etc. ....And the Q is selling these pillows to their customers? Buyer beware.

@Shanus Now that you mention it, I do recall a ruckus about something to do with My Pillows. Can't remember the details but apparently they overcame the problem.

hckynut — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 07:35:53 GMT

Hey @Shanus,

I understand your situation. Dish, with the regular Hopper or the Hopper Sling, only record 3 programs at the same time. They also work similar to the DVR you described. It has the Series and and other choices. Those Hoppers do however allow you to set "Program Priority", which you can prioritize the shows. If there is a conflict, the #1 priority show will override the #2 or #3 shows.

The Hopper 3 is not a perfected device, not too many electronics fall into that category. It does however eliminate conflicts, and since my wife's retirement, we have no recording conflicts any more. Dish Network had a special and we got the upgrade for free, install and all. This Hopper 3 and Joey, will also be ready for 4k when they start broadcasting in that much higher resolution. It's a win, win for our home.

Thank you John

I can't watch the Q all day (even for background noise) as I used to because of this exact problem. Same show over and over and over and over.

I thought it was just me that was aggravated. EVERY single "channel flip" I did today brought me to Logo shows. I couldn't believe it.

Enough is enough QVC! First, the Logo brand only appeals to a certain amount of people. I, for one, would look like a bag lady in the many layers she offers. I am only 5"1". There is nothing in her brand that I can wear. I am pretty sure I am not the only short person in your audience.

I appreciate that there are many Logo lovers that watch QVC, and am happy if they are finding great clothes for their wardrobe. It was a great day for them. I personally think Logo prices have tripled since she came to QVC. $56.- $60. T-SHIRTS??? Really??

What about the rest of the viewers? At least throw in some other shows (and NOOO not Dyson, and not Kitchenaide). What has happened to the buying team?

I stopped checking today. I couldn't handle it. Yes! I used my remote

Today (as it is now 2:53am) will be a day of pillows. How much can one say about a pillow? I feel bad for the hosts nowadays. There are only so many creative words to describe a pillow.

I will proudly admit, though, I LOVE "My Pillow". I am aware about the false claims, and I am sure he has cleared up whatever he was claiming. I have three of them on my bed, and in the whopping snowstorms we have had (and another today), I sure am a happy camper just cuddling down in my bed and reading.

Pillows are a personal like or dislike. I am one of the "like" LOL

QVC needs to get it together. I have found that almost every single item (minus their own brands aka Susan Graver) I can find for the exact same price, exact same item at Sam's Club. Sam's has a 90 day return policy, and if I am lazy and decide to order online, 90% of the time they have free shipping.

There is nothing "only on the Q" anymore. Even Lori Grenier's twisty exercise thing she brings to the Q is in Rite-aid (a drugstore) now for $39.00. In all the colors!
