Cutting Cable.....QVC needs to go YOUTUBE TV or DIRECTTV NOW

Fluffy04 — Tue, 08 May 2018 21:25:20 GMT

Long time customer but am cutting the cable (as many are also doing). If QVC does not sign up with a streaming device like YOUTUBETV or DIRECTTV NOW, you will be loosing a lot of audience. I have liked to set my recorder for certain programs/designers and replay them later in the day, but YOUTUBE along does not alow this....only live programing. Please consider these newer option. It's the future; no it's here NOW

Get a roku. You can watch repeats of most of the shows on the QVC channel app.

@Fluffy04 Welcome to the Community Fluffy. I cut cable years ago and can get HSN and QVC via antenna.

I hardly ever watch QVC from the TV; I look at it from my iPad or laptop only if they have something I’m interested in. I even got bored with the long, drawn out presentations and over-stimulated hosts.

Go to QVC.com and you can watch it live 24/7. Hopefully you have a smart phone or you have internet service within your home where you can do this.

@Fluffy04 QVC IS on YouTube. As @Bird mama says, you can get a simple interior antenna at Walmart inexpensively and get QVC and Q2 on UHF.

I watch QVC on over the air with an antenna...I get about 40 channels & scan often to see if any new are available. Never had cable, not spending that kind of money just to watch tv.

We cut our direct tv off a few months ago, we were tired of the ever escalating bill and we were so bored with all of the gazillion channels of the same ol same ol, including QVC. We live in a very rural area so we put up an antenna and have been so happy with just the free local network channels, but we also don't like to watch a lot of tv either, just a little news in the am, one afternoon soap, the evening news and a couple of hours of pm network programs. I just watch QVC's website videos to decide if I want to purchase an item and that's more than enough info for me, being without their channel really hasn't affected my purchases at all.

@Fluffy04live streams of QVC, QVC2, and BeautyIQ are available through many streaming devices and services. I watch all of the QVC channels in a lovely HD feed through a Roku device. I also get You Tube through Roku and QVC is on it. For anyone who does not have a TV with wi-fi capability or a streaming device you can still resort to your computer for watching QVC. I may not want to sit at my desk and watch QVC, but viewing on a tablet or notebook where I could get comfortable in bed, or on a couch, wouldn't be so bad.

@2swans14 Thinking hard about dumping cable. Except I have Internet and phone as well as TV and thinking they will get me one way or another. The fees keep going up. No competition in our area. And I am not ready to do the CUT.

I also use only an antenna and receive QVC and HSN over the air on the ION network subchannels in my area (New York City). I don't miss cable at all and get everything I need through the airwaves.

@Bird mama What kind of antenna do you have? I bought one I thought would work, but it does not.

Re: Cutting Cable.....QVC needs to go YOUTUBE TV or DIRECTTV NOW

Bird mama — Wed, 09 May 2018 20:21:33 GMT

@mistriTsquirrel Right now I'm working with various rabbit ear antennas. I have 2 cheap RCAs and I think the other one is a cheap GE. I don't want one of those flat ones that you stick to a window. I'm thinking about buying this Terk

My tv is nearest the wall of the electric smart meter, lol. Also just outside that wall is a pine tree and walnut tree. They say the higher up you go the better.

There may be something to that. The TV in my upstairs office is in a bookshelf and the antenna is on the top of that. I get the best reception is that one. I have cupboards/shelves on either side of the fireplace in the family room where my biggest tv is. I was hoping if I bought the Terk featured above and crammed it up high in a book shelf I would get a better reception.

I don't know - it ain't easy :-)

You don't need cable for QVC. Right now, I'm using my IPad and can watch live shows via the internet.

Thanks, @Bird mama!! I may have to look into that Terk one.

Re: Cutting Cable.....QVC needs to go YOUTUBE TV or DIRECTTV NOW

Bird mama — Wed, 09 May 2018 20:48:53 GMT

@mistriTsquirrel The Terk has a pre amplifier so just make sure you got an electrical outlet somewhere near where the antenna is gonna be. It's not cheap - best price I've seen is $59.

If you have/get Roku, QVC streams on that. We cut the cable a few years ago.
