@ms traditional
Thanks! You are correct and I appreciate your answer. I looked at the weekly listing and it had (R) for some and (TM) for others, so I just assumed the TM was always for registered trademark (you know what they say about people who assume and it almost always proves to be true). After you provided your response, I took a look at the daily program listing and the (R) was clearly listed as ® - just as you said. Thanks for taking time to respond.
Can you tell by looking at the program guide which are the prerecorded programs? I know they use prerecorded/repeat programs on HSN so I guess it was only a matter of time before that lazy approach came to QVC.
Snarky responders need not reply. Move along and share your views elsewhere.
