I really enjoy watching these shows, but why don't the hosts have the full sample arrangement when they are presenting? They are in the studio, so why do they only have one color and we have to look at QVC dot com to see others (in which the true colors are misrepresented due to the overwashed lighting)?

 

I can understand when it's vendors only hosting in their homes obviously, but not studio hosts.

I watch nothing live on the Q and record everything of interest so I can skim through the shows. I still do not know how to tell when something is actually live and not a repeat on Q2. My Comcast cable guide does not indicate what is live and what is not.

 

I did come across this show once as live and set it to record when it was on in the future.

I wish there was a way to tell what is live/new.

@MM13  I've been thinking the same thing...

The excuse of them not having the items/other colors/options to present can't be used. One example is A393384. Carolyn presented this D&Co top about 4-6 weeks ago with all the color tops. The latest presentation with Terri Conn (watch the video) she only has one color. When I watched that presentation, all colors were still in stock/available and she even states during the presentation that all 4 colors are available.

 

I just don't know what to make of it. Certainly this issue won't help with sales.

@QPrincessI noticed that my TV guide doesn't say live on QVC 2 either, but I saw a post here that said if you look at the program guide on this site, and the show has a host's name, then it's live. I don't know if that's true yet as I haven't watched enough to know...

@Susan LouiseI was thinking maybe the QVC 2 set is on the other end of the building and it's too far to get the items there? But that's just poor judgement and planning I think. I watch the actual shows to see the actual colors/patterns because I don't trust the online pics.

@MM13   I see your point, but if they can grab one color/top, wouldn't the other 3 or more be right beside it? LOL

Exactly! I'm picturing this one intern just grabbing one item from each presentation, running down the halls to the other end of the building, barely holding onto everything, sweat coming from their brows....haha...I'm just kidding with my scenario of course, but I'd really like to know why just one color! LOL

@QPrincess 

'previously recorded' will be on the left above the item graphic.

'Live' is always in the upper right hand corner. They can be difficult to detect but they're there

 They practically blend into the screen!

@MM13 @Susan Louise I do think it is to save on productions costs.  You take an item out, you have to put it back.  So take fewer back.  Save on labor.   Instead of graphics, they shoot the computer screen.  Terrible production values.

@NYCLatinaMe  When there are only 4 options, it takes no more labor to move /carry 1 hanger in one's hand than 4. I can see if there are 10-20 options/colors, but that is not the case 90% of the time. However, I can easily handle 15 of my hangers in one hand at the time. I would think they are all stored next to each other if they are the same item. They have always had all the color options available and if not, it would be mentioned by the host as to the reason why during a presentation. That was not the case with the example I gave in a previous post of mine in this thread. Additionally, I mentioned during an earlier presentation of the same item, Carolyn had all the colors available. There literally is no good excuse as to why they are omitting showing all the options. Why bother having a presentation?

 

Unlike the items being in warehouses to be shipped. I've bought 3+ of a single item in nvarious colors and they would all be shipped from different warehouses. In years past when I ordered more than one of an item, they would be shipped together and at the same time.
