Satellite viewers will be able to access two of QVC UK’s home shopping channels in high definition for the first time.
On Monday 4th April, QVC UK launches an HD simulcast of its main channel, alongside a high definition version of QVC Style HD for satellite viewers. Viewers will be able to watch the channels in place of the standard definition copies.
Most Sky and Freesat receivers will automatically update during the course of the day to insert the new HD channels on the channel numbers currently used by QVC and QVC Style SD.
For the past seven years, QVC’s HD services in the UK were exclusively available on Freeview – but only in some parts of the country. QVC HD’s service on Freeview is expected to close shortly, but will continue in standard definition only.
And while UK satellite viewers can now enjoy product demonstrations in HD on QVC, QVC in Germany is already offering satellite viewers 4K UHD versions of its channels.
Where to find QVC in HD on Sky and Freesat from Monday 4th April 2022
| Channel | Sky satellite | Freesat |
