Military Time on Website

Angelmanmom — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 17:35:38 GMT

Just checked the website and now they are using military time?? What was wrong with the normal am, pm time? I just want to see what's on when.......not do mental math to see what time of day it really is. Why would they change it? Sometimes they just need to leave things alone.

Too funny. Exactly what I've been thinking for a couple of weeks. At first I thought it was a mistake, but I guess not. I hope they don't start changing things to Celcius and Liters, etc. My older brain doesn't want to do math any more! haha

I've never been part of the military or of a military family, but I see nothing wrong with military time, and if I get to the point that I can't figure out whether it's day or night, I probably shouldn't be shopping anywhere at all.

Thanks for responding I have an exceptionally high IQ and, therefore, the ability to compute......however, we are not the only ones shopping. It is not the accepted standard for timekeeping, therefore, why change it?

I haven't seen this yet but, geez, it's pretty easy. If the number is higher than 12 just subtract 12.

e.g. 1300 hours - 13 minus 12 = 1, so it's 1pm.

or 12 noon is 1200, midnight is 2400

1300 therefore is 1 p.m.

1800 is 6 pm

2100 is 9 pm

go 3 hrs either way if you need to and you're there.

@x Hedge- I presume the OP is referring to the dropdown menus for "Shop QVC TV". The times for shows are now shown by the 24-hour clock (aka military time).

I can't believe that anyone is seriously bothered by this. I find it second nature to convert it, but perhaps that's because I spent my working life in I.T..

Where are you seeing military time?? Everything I see is the standard 12-hour time.

Are you talking about the time left on the TSV that clicks down how much time is left for that price? If so, that's a countdown clock for how many hours, minutes, and seconds are left -- such as 17 hours, 25 minutes, 9 seconds (17:25:09....17:25:08....etc.). That's not military time telling you the time of day it expires. It's just a countdown clock like they have on New Years Eve.

Perhaps I don't get it and you are referring to something else.

@Caaareful Shopper, I think QVC is doing a soft rollout or "test" of this and only some people are seeing military time. I do not see it either.

I have been seeing military time now for over two weeks and have tried to get rid of it and can't.! I cannot possibly phantom the "brains" of QVC.....for what possible reason would they start with military time - NONE! I am getting so digusted with them and their stupidity....there is nothing anymore that they have that interests me especially at a decent price......so.......looks like they will be loosing another CVN customer.....and I am so happy to leave because CVN was a class act!

@grooms, ordinarily I would've let it pass, but since you saw the error and attempted a correction yourself, here's your word for the day:
it's fathom, no p-h.

I see no times given in military time anywhere on the QVC website. Every time is in standard time, with a.m. and p.m.
This must be appearing to a limited number of users, but I can't fathom why this new annoyance is selective.

For anyone questioning where the Military Time is located at, it is appearing on the "Items Recently on Air" section. They redesigned the entire screen and are now featuring military time instead of regular times as on a clock.

Do I like it? Absolutely not! It is confusing to figure out the time (why not leave it just alone, QVC?) and the old "Items On Air" was easier to use as well.
