Three Stations Question

LOVEMYFURBABY · ‎12-05-2016

Maybe it is me, but I get so confused between Q2 and the Q. I am used to live programs and when the host says what the next program is, it is a taped progrram and a different one comes on. Maybe they could put up the next program and then I could choose what I wanted to see. Does any one else get confused like me?

I can barely stand to watch QVC anymore. I rarely watch anything, but occasionally check to see what is airing. QVC is nothing like it used to be, annoying host, prices out of sight. I can find better values elsewhere. (jmo).

If the programming on Q2 indicates it is a previous recorded program, then don't pay attention to what they say is coming up next. It appears they run the most popular programs as repeats on that channel, even tho they are running more live programs as well. Of course, the beauty channel is a continuous run of misc products, which is a little too boring for me to tune into that often.

Ha, ha, yes. Last night when I went to bed, I checked both channels. Jane Tracey was on both, wearing the same dress! I thought oh, good heavens, can't they do any better than that? Too obviously a rerun!

It appears with financial losses, the Q believes buying more channels to show the same products is the answer when the problem is more products.

The Q must believe not enough people are seeing their products even though they're on 24/7. In 2017, DVR's are available and providers provide access to recording.

I've been with the Q since 2003. Many times they come up with expensive ideas and then let them just die on the vine.

Why won't the Q make more vendors available with lots and lots of lovely products with very competitive prices. You know, quality, value, convenience...

Fortunately No, @LOVEMYFURBABY.

The main channel is all live programming, so there's nothing confusing there. When the host says 'whatever' is next, then 'whatever' will be next.

Q2 is live approximately 6 hours every day, during the hours with the heaviest viewership. It's really easy to tell when the show is 'live' on Q2 since they keep the word LIVE on the screen right above the item number at all times.

On a LIVE Q2 show, just like on QVC, when a host says 'whatever' is next, then 'whatever' will be next.

When Q2 is re-broadcasting a previously run show, the LIVE graphic is absent from the screen, and you can feel free to completely disregard any comment from the host about the next show.

I agree that the Q needs more diverse products. Take today.... every time I've turned the channel to the Q, it's that odd little Susan Lucci and her odd little Pilates chair.

But many people only have one channel available. I don't have Q2 and I'm sure many who get Q2 can't get regular Q and some don't have ether..... so having this extra channel allows many people to finally have the ability to see the Q and purchase. From the Corporate profit standpoint, I think it'll pay off. We'll see.

I cannot get QVC2. Our Comcast does not carry it. And the one we do get I no longer watch live. When I do look some of the products just don't interest me. I don't want exercise equipment for example. If I want a camera or something electronic I want to touch it, feel it and get an idea from an expert who offers me choices.

What we buy, need, want are individual preferences. These days there is so little being offered that I will buy. AND THE SHIPPING... THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY. Shopping cart, combined shipping for the day or the weekend. Ebates more than 1% off. Two for one or buy one get the next one half off. My latest purchases have been clearance or AS IS or not at all. I lay wait to see what will happen just in case I do see something I want. Need really is not on my list anymore.

I didn't think I got Q2 or the Q Beauty, but I do. Everytime I turn on Q2 it is something I already viewed on "old" QVC. Either it is an actual repeat or it is the same product being presented by a different host.
Still seldom see anything new. I am watching and buying less and less.
