I understand having 2 networks but I don't understand why they are mixing brands and the need for so many shows, 1 2 3 and streaming.

I guess some people prefer streaming over TV.  Doesn't matter to me.  I just watch what I want and don't worry myself about the others.  I prefer shopping from HSN because they send out coupons, so if they sell some of the sam brands as QVC I can usually get it cheaper on HSN.

It's called points of access in marketing.  The more places a potential customer can encounter your business, the more chance  they will see something they want.

It definitely narrows down choices. But that's been the way of it for years now with lots of things.

 

Also to see (I notice when I flip) the TSV in half-hour & full- hour presentations, let alone the same old, same old over & over & over.....

QVC would say "why not"? I have streamed QVC/HSN for over 10 plus years now through Roku or Amazon Fire TV.

 

I rarely watch the main channel. Have always preferred QVC 2 or I watch previous shows that I can choose from that interest me (creating my own programming).

 

They are both owned by the same company (Qurate) so it just makes sense to combine them and have them on the same streaming platform.

 

It makes it easier to navigate around the different shows/hosts, having it all in one place.

 

More money for them. More convenient for me.

I love when "sources" compete with one another (for Customers).

If it's done right, & the Customers are discerning Buyers,

    the Customers win!    'bout time!

I agree.  I've never even tried to find the other channels. They should just make the main one their priority and make it the best it can be.
