HSN Select to Shop Button is a Pain in the Behind!

TriciatheRealtor · ‎05-10-2014

This irritates me beyond words. Does it happen to anyone else? On my cable system - Comcast - HSN and QVC are right next to each other. HSN has this button at top right hand corner that says Press OK/Select to Shop which allows you to obviously shop right on your TV. That's fine but what drives me nuts is if you stay on channel long enough for that button to pop up (about 10 seconds), it won't let you change the channel. For about a month it stopped doing that but just started up again. I used to have to turn TV and cable off; now I figured out I can hold down the channel button and eventually it changes. But not to QVC, but about 4 channels past. What the heck? It is probably Comcast and not HSN but. It makes me annoyed by both.

I have Comcast and that doesn't happen to me. Have you called them for technical support?

No because I am pretty sure it is intentional. Way to get you to stay on channel.

Did my post disappear? I have been stuck on the channel, too, but it hasn't happened in a bit. I think I used to press the last channel button to get free of it. Highly annoying. Comcast is my cable company. Try a google search.

Try going to the guide channel, Tricia.

I don't even watch it and have been stuck on it so many times by accident, I put a block on it so I couldn't tune to it. So now they lost a potential customer.

If you have the xfinity remote for Comcast, a long silver one, there is a exit button above the volume button, hit that when the shop feature comes on the screen on HSN.

Or if your remote is a different, see if you have that exit button on it anywhere.
