@Meowingkitty, I think that's how they pad their number of channels.  They like to claim you get so many channels on a particular plan, but at least half of them are selling you something or complete junk.

That's one of the main reasons I got rid of DirecTV and went back to cable. Someone told me the reason DirecTV has so many shopping & infomercial channels is that they get revenue from airing them.

I have Comcast and they don't air QVC2 with my package, but no worries, I could watch online if I really wanted to.

I'm in SoCal and QVC2 is now subscription on DTv.I enjoyed having a 2nd choice to watch because especially at this time of year it Christmas kazooo and I've got enough of that stuff. I've started tuning in on competitors with lower prices. Biggest complaint about QVC2, it is not formatted for HD so the picture is horrible and sometimes doesn't fit my screen. That being said, I won't pay additional for any channel and am consideriing leaving DTv after 5+ years. There's nothing but repeats.

Have a beautiful day <3

I think it must depend on what level you’re paying for. I just checked and our QVC 2 and IQ are there, the same as they always have been since launch, on DirecTV.

I suspect those channels may not be available on the Basic subscription any more.

Actually @Moonchilde, QVC2, or as DirecTV calls it QVC Plus, is carried at all levels according to this:  https://www.attsavings.com/images/attsavings.responsive/DIRECTV_English_Channel_Lineup.pdf

And, as I mentioned, it is back for me now, so must've been an error on their part.

I contacted DIRECTV and asked about a lineup change including QVC2. Turns out all you need to do is unplug you receiver, wait 15 seconds, plug back in and let it reboot. QVC2 will come back on! 

Hope this helps those DIRECTV folks out there.

@Cumbercookie13, I also have Comcast and they don't offer QVC2 or Beauty IQ at all regardless of what package you have.

@KeyOui, Q2 on our DirectTV wasn't properly formatted for quite a while, then one day it was. In time, yours probably will be too, if you get it back. It was annoying, couldn't see the item number. Thank heavens for the "Item on Air".

[WORKING GAL]

We have Direct TV (medium plan) and have all 3 QVC channels are no additional charge.  I wish instead of offering them on 2 or 3 different channels, they would offer us QVC2 and Beauty Channel in HD like the original QVC channel.  Same with Jewelry TV on HD.

I've asked numerous times, but no luck so far.

Ok, I thought they offered it with the more expensive packages, thanks.
