Problems watching QVC through the Roku box

Hello everyone,

I use to watch QVC on my Roku box back when all the shopping channels were under one channel. Since they have all split to their own channels QVC always freezes and I have to reset my Roku box. This is the only channel that does this so I know it isn't my box or my internet. Has anyone else had issues with watching QVC on their Roku box? I just don't watch anymore because of this issue.

Thanks

I didn't even know you could watch QVC through the Roku box! I would contact Roku and get tech support from them. They may not even be aware of the issue and may be able to fix it on their end.

Why not watch on your computer?

Yes I am very tired of this happening lately and have thought about calling Qvc. I have asked Roku about this and they said the problem is with the way Qvc broadcasts, and I should ask them about it.

In fact, I will email them now about the problem.

You know, people are funny. I would play games on my computer for hours, but hated watching TV on my computer. I had a 15" computer monitor and a 42" TV. And my desktop computer was in my bedroom with a computer chair, not a comfy couch. I hated watching TV shows I missed on my computer and would only do it with shows that I couldn't get on my TV through my OnDemand cable. Later I bought a laptop primarily for hooking up to the TV and using that to play DVDs, videos, stream stuff online, etc. It still took me forever and a move to a new place to actually hook the thing to my TV. Now my laptop has a home next to the TV and I pick it up and move it when I need to work on it, but it took me a while to make the transition, even when that was exactly why I bought it.

I don't always want to sit at my computer or have my laptop on for hours and have to watch it on a small screen.

You can watch QVC, HSN, Shop NBC, Jewelry Television, Liquidation Channel, Gem Shopping Network, some coin channel (don't watch) and if you love infomercials they have three channels for that (they play the same one's for a year then change, I'm guilty of watching lol).
