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...

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.
You're not going to miss anything, @Q4u, unless you only have Beauty IQ. They're showing the same products on both the Q and Q2.
And as for Beauty IQ, except for just a few, they're the same products as on the Q and Q2.
It's a waste as I see it, and it does not attack the problem.
It's like the grocery store carrying only apples and oranges. So, instead of offering more produce, they just bring in more apples and oranges.

Everyone who doesn't have QVC and could never get it can now get Q2 and therefore all those products are being shown to a new audience/customers, so I can see an advantage to this (potentially) to QVC... I've always gotten QVC and am not interested in Q2 whatsoever.... and I agree that more diverse products are really, really needed....

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.

If they would show lots of new merchandise, I would buy. For instance, @bonnielu, they had the new Garden Fresh plant protein with Ingrid Bergman's grandaughter presented it. I bought that along with her Super Greens, all USDA approved. It's the best I've had and am loving it.

Once in a while they come up with something new. But don't hold your breath.

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.

Exactly, @Daysdee. I have Direct TV and on the menu they're lined up, 315, 316, 317 and 318. The 316 is Evine. So this way, I can see exactly they're moving them from channel to channel.

Even with Beauty IQ, if it's on the Q, it'll go to Beauty IQ, also.
