If any, which shopping channel on Freeview is actually decent?

I know many people here complain about the shopping channels on Freeview being a waste of space, but if all of the shopping channels but one were removed from Freeview, which would you keep? Personally, I would keep QVC only.

I have been known to watch some of the HiTec sales pitches, then gone on-line and found it cheaper elsewhere.
I swear that they could put a turd in a box and put a bow on it and someone would buy it!
Although I've not used this or any other shopping channel, QVC do come across as a reputable organisation. This contrasts with Ideal World which knowingly sells consumer goods such as android tablets that have poor customer feeback, i.e. the goods are tat and, in my view, that's completely unprofessional. As for the others, they're dregs and I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole - better to shop at John Lewis or Argos online.
The problem with the 'find it cheaper' online aspect when it comes to QVC especially when it comes to tech is that while it can often be found cheaper elsewhere its not always the exact same 'product' as you often throw in extas and to purchase these extras online would see the total price increase above QVCs price. So you have to take into account these added extras as for some people they are things they would go out and buy anyway.
For example I bought a Dell Laptop from the a few years ago. Was £50 cheaper from dell and other dell resellers but for the extra £50 QVC added a memory upgrade, a travel case, mouse/keyboard and most impressively an upgrade from 1 yr RTB support to 3 year In home support. The Support upgrade was worth the money alone and actually saved me alot of time and hassle as I had issues with it on 4 occasions (mainly to due with the faulty Nvidea GPU) as the technician came out next day to replace parts rather than me having to bundle it send it back and wait a week to have it returned
