Although not as popular and active as it is here, there are some very interesting comments there now about the move to PA ranging from the hosts to the models to the decision to leave FL. Check it out if you have the time.

I read some of the remarks and, although I haven't watched recently, I agree with them. My fear is that HSN, which I greatly prefer to QVC, will now just become a clone of QVC. I too like the hosts and models on HSN and I know many of them will not migrate to PA. Too bad.

@Shelbelle @kaydee50 I don't know why but HSN just never appealed to me. I used to watch when trish McEvoy was on Mrs. Apel was a hoot.

I don't use Skinn or the the othr derm's or plastic surgeons pproducts which seem to be the "Tart and Philosophy" over there. It sure would be a break though from Kim G. and Susan G.

May have to check it out again...the forums, too.

years ago, i tried to watch HSN but it just didn't seem as polished as QVC. well, HSN upped it's game and became more watchable. I like most of the hosts and love that they don't include their family life into the presentations. Just a brief mention, if any thing. I will miss Guy, Amy M. and Callie. Some of their newbies are too hard to watch, just like some of the Q's.

their community page is harder to follow, for me.

@10sluvr Callie has moved to PA to be in HSN. She is my favorite host ever.

@10sluvr I agree that over the years HSN has become more watchable while for me QVC has become unwatchable. Callie is going to PA fortunately. I will miss Amy and Guy. Time will tell how things will change at HSN.

I was just on HSN reading a lot of the comments and wow there are some interesting comments. A lot about the models and how Tatia is training the "new" models.

Some very interesting comments about the hosts going and the ones that are not...

One of the comments was about QVC having mostly over 50 year old hosts and that QVC's clothing lines leave little to be desired as they are geared for older, not younger...

I am not commenting-just reading!!!

I love HSN, to be honest I have not made a Q purchase in 13 years, but I buy from HSN all the time. Love their coupons, clearance prices and great CS. Often free shipping

Agree with your post 100%. I have not made a purchase from qvc in years, and with all the complaints about shipping time, poor return policies, canceling orders, etc. I don't plan on it either.

HSN on the other hand, I purchase from frequently. They are so much better than qvc imo. The hosts are watchable, No stupid marketing campaigns, prices are better. More coupons, better sales. Just all around a better shopping experience.

I begn posting over 20 years ago on the HSN forum. My nic was bankerbabe. I often wonder what happened to the fun people who were there. I was in the middle of a divorce and the late night crew really kept me occupied and entertained.

I find their forums disjointed. Years ago I tried engaging there and I just did not like their setup. I will say, there are a lot of people complaining over there noting the new models are "terrible" to how they think the directors and producers are doing a horrible job. I think the reality could be there was a very real likelihood QVC could've just up closed HSN, and maybe patience is necessary at this time.

In my opinion, viewers need to learn to adjust to all the change that is ongoing. We are adults and things change, we have to to accept that. No one has to like it, but viewers have to accept it.

ETA that I am very disappointed in these final shows/farewell shows that they are airing for hosts not making the move. Some of those people have been there for decades and they're getting a couple of pictures shown on the screen and a brief thank-you-very-much. However, in reality, normal non-tv-salespeople, most of us do not get send off parties and hoopla if buyouts, retirements or company staffing changes occur.
