Hosts and vendors together or 12 feet apart are better than this home presentation

It doesn't matter to me if the vendors are there or not.  I used to think it was a waste to pay a vendor to travel in to just do a 10 minute presentation.

I actually like the Vendors doing presentations from their  homes. They get to show us more uses for what ever they are selling. And I get to see their homes & pets!

I'm for bringing them back.  Better picture quality, no "freezes", clearer audio, etc.  Clearly, some work quite well, but many others are definite channel changers for me.

I prefer the remote appearances from the vendors. Some are broadcasting from their business sites; others from home. It is a nice variety to the studio demonstrations. None of the pertinent information is lost, and less travel is more cost effective and more environmentally friendly.

I agree that some do better on remote than others.  Some I can't watch on Skype like Sandra and SG.  Always interrupting and talking over each other.

@KKJ They do that even when they are in the same studio.

I don't know for sure, but I'm only guessing that some of the vendors prefer working from home.

 

Not easy to fly across the country or drive hours for a few minutes here and there on air.  

 

Also, it's probably easier for them to relax (in their homes) in-between all day TSV presentations. 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

This format works smoothly and seamlessly. 

 

They should never, ever have guests return to the studio,  except in a very limited capacity.

The audio is a real negative.    What I haven't missed - or enjoy missing..........vendors who had the freedom to dance - show too much of their back side when in studio.

By being in their homes - they HAVE TO STAND AT ATTENTION during the presentations.......that part I like a lot more.
