No Closed Captioning on QVC?

[ Edited ]

I was watching Cracker Factory w/Angel & hostess Mary awhile ago. Tried using closed captioning on 2 different channels I receive QVC on, both in HD, but it was a no go. Tried other channels and it was working, just not for QVC. PHOOEY!! I wonder why. In any case I had to resort to muting it. Anyone else who can't use cc for QVC or is it something with my cable or tv?

My CC works on QVC, I have DIRECTV, maybe if you call your provider they can assist you; I think it's odd for a shopping channel not to have it.

Oddly just now on QVC.com, I tried to use CC for the TSV on my computer .... as I do not enjoy the "voices" of women talking over each other so that is how I "watch" the Q. 

 

Closed Caption did not work (was not even an option as it always is on other items).  I do not watch TV during the day, so unsure about cable (Comcast).  @shaggygirl

Hmm, now it's working on QVC. Thank you both for responding! GraceysMom, I hear ya! I really like both of those ladies but early this morning I just couldn't take anymore of something.

@shaggygirl   ...   QVC closed captioning starts at 6:00 a.m., CT, in my area.

Never thought of using it.  I have not watched qvc live for quite a long time.  I was tired of hosts and vendors talking over each other and tired of the chatting and making the show about themselves and not the product.... so I simply tuned out.  It just seemed like everyone wanted personal attention and I was left guessing what the product was and why I should buy it.  Closed caption might just give me what I need.  Thanks

QVC does not have closed caption on for 24 hours.  I found this out a few months ago when I woke up at around 2 a.m. and it was not available.  Not sure when it goes off but think it comes back on around 6 a.m.  So I just go to HSN where they have it all the time it seems.

Wow, what a great idea, never thought of that.  I absolutely can not listen to Jane or Amy, so have to miss some shows.  Now I have to figure out how to use it on Frontier.  Gives me something to do HA HA
