HSN

Channel #18 on the box, #68 over the air
HSN or the Home Shopping Network is another popular shopping channel. Never buying anything from them doesn't mean I haven't been tempted. The have computer and coin blocks that are so convincing it has me checking my credit cards for sufficient funds. Still at the end you can it cheaper with online bargains.

History
Started in 1982.

Highlights
How To - Clever marketing mixes selling with some nice tips. I'll add soooo convincing.

Lowlights
Soooo convincing. I fear one day they'll get me and I'll be addicted. Luckily my postal service is horrible so that always stops me.

Advertising
The entire channel is an ad. Once they added an interactive feature the allowed you to order directly through the remote control but it has been taken away. Click here for an old review of HSN itv.
