QVC stresses that subsidiaries outside of the US are not part of the bankruptcy proceedings. The only exception is a non-operating subsidiary in Luxembourg.

The company’s global business activities continue as usual – including customer-facing activities in the UK, Germany, Japan, and Italy. Payments to suppliers and vendors are being made as normal in all these regions.

As a result, QVC UK is expected to continue broadcasting, selling goods and services as normal.

You trust big business ! Please send me your details :p:. I don't use QVC but if I did I would first get a credit card :shocked:

This happens quite a bit as quite a few firms carry significant debt, the problem comes when they cannot service their debts.

...and it often gets written off by various means. However, if you or I fell behind with our council tax by just one payment, just watch them act without impunity.

Yes but we aren't a major innovative business keeping the country afloat with the massive amounts of tax they pay :rofl:

I am amazed at the prices they charge, even more suprised that people pay them , the odd bargain agreed but perhaps 1 a day at most .

The thing is they could sell a £100 gift card for £1,000 - and then it reduces in price down to £200 - so a massive 80% discount. Some people will buy it. Some a gulable and others just addicted.

So you get Netflix added and then taken away, or doesn't that count :erm:

EPG doesn't say anything about Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Says only VM streaming channels, BritClassic and Wedo Movies are going as well, and they are recent additions. Along with Red Bull TV and something about "TraceSptStr"(sports streaming).

Sorry you are saying it's channels listed in the epg not ones access by apps ie itv x , Netflix, U.

I'm going to presume that everything VM (and others) are removing will still be available somewhere on a firestick?
