TSV Enough is Enough

ma42 — Sun, 04 Aug 2019 15:43:28 GMT

The time alloted to the TSV is over the top. Please do something about this.

An hour is too much and then in the next hour of a show is about another 30 minutes.

Enough is enough.

We all know why they do that....(to try to get eyes of those 'channel surfing' on their TSV...

That said, it sure doesn't make it any less (the opposite) for those of us who watch QVC for more than a nano-second.

Can I just echo the OP's awesome post and say, please, please ..... we how are regular viewers get the message....now to our regularly scheduled programming...

I understand your frustration @ma42 BUT this isn't an entertainment channel, it's a shopping channel & the TSV is presented over n over to catch channel surfers. I use the show guide then note on my calendar the shows I want to see & I shop Q online. The days of leaving Q on while I do other things around the house is over...I'm watching less for many reasons & can't remember the last time I purchased a TSV.

I don’t understand, and I don’t hink I ever will. Why can’t people just change the channel or do something else when something they don’t like is on QVC? It’s like complaining that it hurts every time you put your hand on the hot stove.

I really don't understand this.

Do you complain to other TV networks about their programming?

Or just QVC?

Do you tell PBS they have too many hours of people with British accents?...or complain to the Movie Channel that they run too many movies followed by time fillers?

Don't stop there. Write to talk radio and complain about the lack of music on their station.

ps: When I am interested in buying the TSV, I never think it's on too often, because different hosts & callers add new questions thru the day, or vendors think to show the product in a new way that inspires me.

I don't 'buy & return', so I want to know before I buy.

Probably the same reason you put so much thought into this post! Have you ever heard people need to vent?

This post has been removed by QVC because it is argumentative

Many product presentations— and not just TSVs— have become more like infomercials, complete with fast-talking, shouting hosts and vendors. They’re repetitive and waaaaay too long. I find them unwatchable.

Enough is Enough! After watching the carpet being vacumed 462 times and bubbles made in a bowl every 10 minutes, yes it is over the top. I got so tired of seeing the H.P. computer advertised today and the colors mentioned every 3 minutes, I just went to the music channel and chilled out! bamasec

If you only had 24 hours to move millions of dollars worth of products you would put it on as much as possible.

It does get boring but they have to make money.

@Pqfan Agreed. Also, if I’m on the fence about a TSV, I don’t mind the half hour presentation, because it gives me a chance to make up my mind and get a thorough view of the product. Also, anyone who complains about having to watch multiple half hour presentations of the TSV is probably watching way too much QVC.

Wow. The OP should ignore most of the comments so far. OP is as entitled to an opinion just like everyone else.

Nothing twisted in calling out snark. Snark reflects on the poster, not others. OP was expressing her opinion and is not obligated to accept snark as part of it.

@CalminHeart What are you talking about? She wasn’t calling out snark. She was saying that people should be able to give their opinions without others commenting on or challenging them. That’s antithetical to the purpose of the forums. If you don’t want a suggestion to be up for discussion by others, there is an option on the customer service page to submit your suggestions.
