Has anybody else discovered this... http://www.quiltersnewsnetwork.com/
It appears to be a television network that I can't find on my satellite dish but enjoy watching on the computer.

It is on TV but I don't get it. Would have to take a lot of programs I don't want. A friend of mine has it & said they play the same programs over & over.Guess they haven't made new ones & are playing all the ones that used to be on TV & were canceled. I can get it on my computer but don't bother anymore.

Yes, I am beginning to see a whole lot of repetition of programs. Still, it is fun to peek in sometimes.

I don't get it, something really weird happens to my 'puter when I try. Funny, I was thinking about this very channel just the other day. It seems it made a big splash then went quiet. Has anyone else watched it?

I watch it when I can. They are having some problems right now with a changeover in systems or something. They are going to charge a membership fee eventually. I understand they are adding new quilting professionals to the programming and expanding their shows. Eleanor Burns will be doing some shows and was on it today, she was great! The have also signed Kay Wood among others for some shows.

I got to watch it...on the t.v. theres a little UP arrow. It FIXES the pic on the screen. (I have cable and the video was pixelated, till I fixed it).
I'm thinking of you have all your virus/adaware/spy stuff on, it might not work....(I turn mine off...makes my husband crazy....hee hee...)

Chrys, are you watching on tv or computer monitor? I understood that it is only on the inernet. I think you are right about the virus programs. I have to disable my firewall, but my virus program doesn't affect it.

I watch it occasionally....if I spend time watching, I get nothing accomplished at home, including more quilting. My PCs in the kitchen so not convenient to watch and sew...maybe I will need to get another one for my sewing room...NOPE!!! (ROFL)

I have a firewall, anti-virus, ad-ware, block pop-ups, etc. and have no problems getting it without having to turn anything off. I have my firewall setup so that I get warnings whenever something tries to connect to my PC...I also regularly install the Windows Security updates. I get it better now than I did previously. No more time delays for downloading the video stream like I used to.

it's on computer only but if you can get it , it's great pictures. close ups are really good. there is a button below the picture to enlarge it to the whole screen and one to stop it if you're interrupted. i only have watched a bit of it while at work. we have everything here! not sure i could get it at home but one day I may try. I just cant' see sitting in front of the computer that long when at home. at work i'm stuck in front of the silly thing.

I watch it on my computer. Our cable t.v. doesn't carry much in the way of
-quilt- shows. (my computer has a 21" flat screen, so just about anything looks great.)
