Bring Back the Monthly Program Guide

Sorry it's being discontinued - I used it daily. Not everyone has access to computer, etc. all the time.

Does your local library have computers? If so, you could check in once every couple weeks and jot down shows you're interested in.

Also, you should have a cable guide right on the tv. That might be convenient.

Any cable or satellite service, AFAIK, has a program guide that you just punch a button on your remote and it comes up on the screen. You can look ahead by hours in the day, or days.

If you have Tivo, you have the Tivo guide (which I like a lot more than cable guides, but it's a matter of preference I'm sure) which is basically the same type of deal. With a Tivo guide you can look ahead as far as 12 or 13 days.

I like the paper version too. I know it's easy enough to lookup, but I probably won't.

Re: Bring Back the Monthly Program Guide

I got tired of receiving multiple program guides. If you get more than one package a month, you got more than one guide.

Waste of paper.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

It truly was a horrific waste of paper, and I give QVC a great deal of credit for giving it up.

Re: Bring Back the Monthly Program Guide

I liked receiving my tiny guide with my order. I would usually only get one even though I may have had multiple orders in the same month. I wish they would make it available online on qvc.com in the same format, with the weekly calendar and pics of new items. I see they have the weekly and monthly schedule on here, but I want it with pictures of items on it.

Re: Bring Back the Monthly Program Guide

Count me in as one who WANTS PROGRAM GUIDES BROUGHT BACK in our orders! I like the small, colorful, folded versions and always kept one at each tv, on in desk by computer, one at office and one in my purse. I will not carry big ones I have to print. This is certainly a service QVC can provide to its customers, no different than printed catalogs from companies, etc. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK. (Perhaps if some do not want them as one person here has commented they were a waste of paper, maybe in this computer age of ours they could somehow being optional and attached to our customer profile whether we wish to receive them, or not.) That way, it would probably cut down quite abit on the cost as people who don't want them can opt out, but will keep loyal, long-time customers happy by letting is opt in!!!

ITA. you can look up the program guide on any computer or smart phone, OR just by using your cable guide.
