Oh, Q4U, I had to laugh when I read your post.  I never thought of myself as a weather channel watcher, but that is exactly what I find myself doing these days when one of the many obnoxious hosts is on!  And it seems to happen more and more frequently!

It would be easier to list the things I like -- clothes, shoes, and handbags. Everything else makes me change the channel.

Certain hosts, certain vendors with annoying voices, too much "cackling", uninteresting product, maudlin presentations.

Two things:  Programming and/or host.  (I guess there's nothing left after eliminating those two.)

Re: What on QVC makes you change the channel and why?

I change the channel when I'm tempted to buy something and then remember that it will take 3 weeks to get to me, and if I don't like it, am out 10, 12, 15 bucks to return.

The hosts. They are too,too for me. And the extra long presentations. I know what I can afford and I know what I like so I do not have to be convinced.

Re: What on QVC makes you change the channel and why?

I stop watching when boring beds are presented, pillows, Lazy Boys, televisions, overpriced handbags, and when the host and vendor are chattering at the same time.  When they do that all I hear is "blah, blah, blah" and can't understand a word they're saying.  Can't change the channel fast enough.

Re: What on QVC makes you change the channel and why?

I can honestly say I've pretty much stopped watching the Q.  I used to find it entertaining especially PMS.  I also used to love watching the jewelry.  Now I just find it all BORING.  Same stuff over and over.  The jewelry has gone to mostly mystery metals and the clothes are just not my taste (LOGO).  I mostly check online and that's it for me.  I don't care for any of the hosts - they get more obnoxious by the day.  I will probably get poofed or slack for saying that they all want to be the next LR and none of them can even come close.

So true.   I change the channel for almost everything they sell.
