Many of the QVC shows are repeats?

jenjen1127 — Sat, 12 Nov 2016 03:29:51 GMT

First let me say I am NOT talking about QVC Plus. I don't have it on my cable package. The last couple of days when looking at the program guide on the TV to see what is coming up on QVC, I noticed alot of the shows said they were repeats. Lori Grenier is on at 11:00 pm tonight and it says it is a show from 2013. I don't know if that is right or the cable company is giving incorrect info on shows. Any ideas?

That doesn't sound rght to me. I don't think they would have enough stock to fill orders

I think it's Comcast. Lori is always bringing on new products. But I am going to watch at 11:00 to see if I can tell whether it is a repeat or not.

It wouldn't make any sense to air a show from 2013. Item numbers change or items don't get restocked when they sell out. It has to be the cable company.

Also prices on everything have gone up in three years. I've never seen a taped program on QVC except for Christmas day.

@jenjen1127 I looked through the program guide and didn't see anything referring to old taped programs. I see you were looking at your TV schedule, obviously very inaccurate.

They're not repeats.

The date that comes up is the first "episode" of that particular program. I'm watching AM Style, and the date that comes up in 10/18/14, which should be the first airing of AM Style with Leah Williams.

@jenjen1127...I've noticed this also...When I hit "guide" on my remote to get a listing of programs, it will indicate "New" or "Repeat"...This morning, it is showing the wrong show for 7-10 am...It is saying "Repeat, It Cosmetics, (2014)..."

I've also noticed incorrect movies being listed on some of the movie channels at times...It is obviously a mix-up with the cable provider...We have Comcast.

I would agree

I can verify that they do occasionally show repeat programs. I only saw it once overnight, but I had seen that particular one earlier in the day. I was surprised and took notice. I wouldn't be surprised if they do this more often, saving the millions referred to in some article posted somewhere on the forums yesterday. I checked my cable programming guide last night, and it did say "repeat" on at least three separate hours. There may be more, but I'm not watching enough to say that it is in fact a repeat.

I have Comcast and I have noticed that they are repeating the 12AM (TSV show) again at 3:00AM. Last night, I saw David Venable's grilll show was on again at 3AM. Same with a denim and company. We do not have QVC plus. I stay up a lot at night and miss the original programming.

I agree with others that it is just your guide data. Guide data comes from numerous different sources and one thing is that they vary a bit and are not always accurate.

I've sometimes seen OADs in guide data. In fact, going through right now I see a show coming on at 4am that says 'First Aired: 8/1/16'. It's for a two-hour morning show at 4am my time/7am Eastern time.

If you thought QVC was about pleasing the viewers, they would get some new products. And, they wouldn't start to air repeats during the early morning hours to save money. I'm just about done with the Q after 30+ years!
