I wonder if it is around anywhere, if anyone has it in full clean quality or something listenable, could you PM or email me?

Quuuuuue Veeeeee Ceeeeeeee du da da duh dah

I never had QVC when they had that, but I always remeber watching QVC when we were at my Aunties house in Surrey, and for some reason on the way back and for days after, I found myself singing that!

They really should bring it back!

"Being beemed into your home via satellite and cable, this is QVC the shopping channel"

I thought it would be appropriate to ask in this thread:-

Is QVCuk available via DTT in the uk?

Because everytime QVC feature a Freeview box they always end up showing QVCuk on the screen as a valid channel!

I'm not sure about Wales - I know they don't get bid-up because of S4C, but I don't know about QVC.

The space which both QVC and Bid-Up.TV occupy on DTT is on the SDN multiplex. In England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, SDN have licenced that space to QVC and Bid-Up.TV. But in Wales S4C have been allocated that space - S4C broadcasts in the same space as QVC and S4C2 in Bid Up's space. Therefore, it is not possible to carry either QVC or Bid Up in Wales without making alternative arrangements for their transmission, which just won't happen.

Bid-up.tv is available in Wales on DTT, confirmed by many Welsh people on Digital Spy. QVC is the only channel they don't receive.

Also, in Scotland, they receive TeleG as well, but also get all the other channels on DTT.

Yes, it sure is. However, no one in Wales that I have spoken to have ever received the NTL channel on Freeview.
