I was bored watching The Librarian and started surfing and found this thread. I installed qvc and it started playing fine, but then started buffering. Then it said there was a problem with my connection. Ummm, no! I then installed hands just to see if it would play and it's playing flawlessly.

QVC has nothing to do with being on the Roku box. That channel that used to be all 3 combined was designed by someone (not a Roku employee) who made it a private channel. Same for all 3 now that they are split apart. They are not channels that Roku has listed on their own web site, they are PRIVATE channels.

Hi Squeezebox,

What model Roku are you using? I have 2 Roku HDs and a Roku 1, and no problem watching the QVC channel on any of them. Something you could try is to remove the QVC channel from the Roku, then unplug the power, wait 15 seconds, plug it back in, then add the channel back from the Channel Store. Try that and let me know if that helps.

I will give this a try and see if it works. I will let you know.

With between 8 -10 million Roku boxes having been sold so far you would think they would want to make their own. I watch HSN a lot more now because that channel works.

First, Q UK was a live feed and they changed to a nonstop tape of Philosophy products. I just removed it and reinstalled. The q-uk Phil loop is still there, US Q now does not work . And the BBC News live feed from UK no longer works.

I'm glad to hear this! Not really glad, I just thought I thought I was the only one who could no longer get Q UK! This has been going on for the last few months. I also have problems with Q stopping on my Roku box. I barely watch anymore because of it. Nice to not be spending much with them any longer!!

So I'm not clear exactly what the ROKU does. Does it make my 5 yr old un-smart TV into a ""smart tv""?? Can I save money on my cable bill by using it? Thanks in advance for your kind responses!

Don't buy a roku if you expect to see a lot of free stuff on it. A lot of channels are free but they don't replace cable. amazon prime, netflix and hulu+ are good paid services that for me do replace cable along with using an indoor antenna for local tv channels.

QVC stops completely at 9PM on Roku every night,   Its off until morning,  Why is this happening?  It has been going on for a week now, and is very upsetting.
