Less, primarily because of S&H. I don't have Amazon Prime and I still get free shipping if I'm willing to wait 8 days. No problem. QVC takes that long and I have to pay. Now I typically order only on free S&H days, plus as others have said, shopping is not a priority like it was when I worked and needed more dress clothing and accessories.

In the beginning I watched and purchased.  Today, products are very stale and really no longer a value.  I prefer shopping at B&M stores.  I still make an occasional purchase at QVC but clothing size is not consistent and it's to expensive to try on and return if the fit is off.

In the early days of QVC, I watched more than I do now.

These days - only watch a few vendors (LOGO, Graver, Basso, Mackie, Lisa Rinna and Renee).  I sometimes watch the "style" and "closet" shows - depends on the host.  

For buying ....  I'll wait until I switch my closet in May to see what has to be added/replaced.

WAY WAY LESS.  I have watched since day one in 1986.  They USED TO HAVE unique items priced well with reduced shipping on multiples.  Now, so much is their HOUSE BRAND or the same ordinary stuff you can purchase anywhere.   Their TSVs are only a few dollars off the regular QVC price and not deeply discounted as in the past.  There is little Value and the Quality is often suspect unlike years ago when you were assured that if it passed QVCs QC it was exceptional.  Sadly, I don’t think that Dept exsists there any longer. 

Yes, there are some wonderful TSV skincare offerings, but they are the exception IMO.  

I still have some AMAZING DESIGNER sweaters from decades ago that I wear and get compliments on to this day.   Now it’s the same SG, D& C, Logo, over and over and over.  I’m not saying don’t feature those brands, but don’t choke us with them either.  

Greed, ineptness and indifference are leading the charge now.

I hardly watch at all...outside of AM Style and a few fashion shows here and there. For many reasons...high prices, ridiculous S&H charges, annoying hosts and vendors, lack of variety in products just to name a few.

I agree with everyone.  I am watching and buying less and less.  I do still enjoy some of the shows but they have become few and far between.  I really dislike some of the hosts and dislike it even more when they do beauty during fashion, vacumns during kitchen shows and way too much nonsense chatter, etc etc.......I do tend to check the LTS each day just to see what's available and I seem to be enjoying HSN more so.  But either way as others stated the CS is really lacking and the whole operation is run poorly as far as I am concerned.  I'm tired of being weary if my order is going to make to me or not and if I am going to be billed incorrectly!  Too stressful, and yes don't even get me going on the shipping and return shipping fees!!!!!!!!!

much less.   i always watch any style show with Leah, and any d&c show with carolyn/gary and then an occasional closet show or shoe show.  that's about it.

Less TV in general for two reasons. I have less time and I DVR so much. I don't do a lot of random watching. I no longer use TV for background noise as I used to. 

When I worked PT and kids were young, I'd watch QVC a lot. I loved Sports Saavy, which fit my lifestyle. Sports Saavy was my hook. I was also switching from a few pieces of yellow gold jewelry to more sterling silver and it was fun to add to my collection. I rarely buy jewelry now. All stocked up.

Probably 99% less than years ago. The 1% is drive-bys during ads or short periods while waiting for "my show" to come on. What got me turned off is the long presentations, the repetition of the same old same old and the most irritating hosts given the most air time. I do still order once in a blue moon but the blue moons are becoming less & less.

Less. 

I think the hosts use to be different. I don't remember the Kathy Levine or some of the other ones from years ago being frantic and showing out trying to be cute. They were professional. None of the hurry, hurry and buy before it sells out stuff.

It use to be more relaxing for me to watch. Maybe its just me.
