Q Talk

[BalletBabe]

Turned TV on in kitchen and QVC gone.  They are the only shopping channel that I can't get now in the kitchen.  If sales are down , why would they do this?

I thought all TV signals were digital now.  At any rate, if you were formerly getting QVC over-the-air and now you're not, I guess you'd have to ask the local station that carried Q on a subchannel.  Maybe Q's contract with the station expired and wasn't renewed?

@ValuSkr  I can get it in my bedroom because I have a dvr in there.  Cable has a note on the screen that you can call for a box in order to receive it.   Sorry cable not paying you one more penny.  Now I have ROKU in there and I downloaded QVC but cannot get it to play.  QVC was on channel 22 and hsn is on channel 21HSN is still on as are the others.

@BalletBabe I just checked Chicago's digital feed and QVC is still there.  I'm afraid I don't know much about over the air channels but maybe if you rescanned your TV QVC may return (I know I had to do this a couple of times when I was adjusting my antennas)?

@momtochloe Thanks but I tried that.  Our cable company took it off.  I am a tv freak and have a tv in every room and none of the rooms can get it.  THey all say call cable for a special box?  Seriously this is a new TV not an old analog, so I don't get it.

Oh I'm sorry @BalletBabe I misunderstood your original message as I thought you were speaking to over the air channels with an antenna.  Maybe your cable provider has moved QVC to a higher tier (looking for more money).

I know exactly how you feel as cable is my one vice.  I even sleep with the TV on so I know how it goes.

QVC and QVCplus are both being broadcast over the air in Milwaukee right now. I dont have cable, so freaked out a bit when i read your post. But there both on.
Must be your local broadcast station. Could be they're working on the tower. Check your local station website or call them.

What is confusing to me is that in bedroom , where I have a DVR, I can get it on channel 21 and also on 1326 in high def.  but other TV's only go to channel 99.

@momtochloe  Brighthouse was bought out by Fathom?    I think that is the right name.  I am on HD channel 1326 and it is very distorted.   The voices not the picture.   Think I will call.

I also misunderstood your original message. My TVs are new and digital, not analogue. But I watch programs broadcast over the air on dozens of channels. I use antenna for reception rather than cable. Anyway, Im sorry to hear your cable provider has changed your service without adequate warning.
