Can someone explain what the difference is between regular QVC and QVC2? Is QVC2 mainly repeat shows and or showing previously aired fashions, sales, etc? Or does QVC2 air new fashions just like QVC?

QVC2 has live programming from 11 am til midnight eastern time every day. Often it’s sale items but not always. Yesterday they had an All day jewelry event. Just look at the program guide. I find myself watching more Q2 than the main channel.

It's true that they have live programming from 11am till midnight. It seems that the programming is opposite of Q1. For example, if Q1 is all clothing shows, Q2 will be a variety of cooking, gardening, beauty, etc. Likewise, if Q1 has the type of programminitg just mentioned for Q2, it will be a variety of clothing shows.

I know this sounds picky , but i don't like that it is not in HD , this is 2026. I have Direct TV , i know QVC films in HD , so it's not their fault. After watching things in 4 k , it just isn't pleasurable for me.

On QVC2 when showing the different colors something comes in (clothing, candles, etc.) they leave out one that you have to go online to see. I don't understand why they can't just show all the colors like they do on QVC.

Q2 = no live models most of the time unless it is a major fashion weekend or winter holiday fashion push. They usually show clips of the ladies from a previous Q1 broadcast that they posted on the website for the original airing.

 

It has been noted Q2 sets are much smaller and I think there are less cameras as well. Seems to be stripped down Q1. However, where in my area HSN does nothing ""live" on HSN2 it is heavily edited old broadcasts and not in HD. I never watch that channel.

Why not have one channel and show more products faster?  Would that not save money for a company in chapter 11?  Fewer hosts needed, fewer models, fewer behind the scenes personnel to name a few.

I believe that Q2 is used as the "Auditioning Room" for Q1 and primetime or self name showcases.

 

Regular viewers can tell who will make the cut and move up and on and who won't.

I don't watch QVC2 that much, I wonder sometimes if they have more limited quantities in most of their shows, anyone know?

I like watching HSN 2, could care less if in HD or not, gives me a chance to see items presented I probably missed before. Yes, it is all reruns and sometimes a sneak peek of a TS that is coming up.  Q3 is all reruns.
