On the 28th August they were running a promotion where EVERY piranha order got a free pair of piranha scissors. Some of you may remember the offer. They actually said if you buy 10 items then you get 10 scissors. So I ordered a peeler and it came but no scissors. When I queried it they claimed...

Interesting how they are describing Peter Simon as a "guest" presenter. I think it is so that he can claim it was never meant to be permanent if they get rid of him.

I can't help it. I watch Peter because he is entertaining. And I bet he is shifting a lot of stock. He will bring Gems TV down though. He is totally unsuited to it. I also miss watching him on a general shopping channel where he sells a variety of stuff. I want to see him do kitchen and DIY...

Oh dear. Whoever played out the wrong show should have their knuckles wrapped. Just watching the gardening show on youtube. Seems decent enough. Picture quality is good on 720p. It desperately needs music though and the background noises need to be eliminated. Surely the studio is soundproof...

Whoever earlier said that they thought outlet would have been lucky to get one purchase during that broadcast, what makes you say that? I have no idea what would be considered average sales volumes on shopping channels. I know that bid and pricedrop were selling about 70 items per hour per...

I didn't even know cameras could get dead pixels! I though that only happened to LCD screens.

The bottom line with Peter Simon though is this: I never, ever watched Gems TV. Now I watch it to see Peter Simon. That is why they have hired him. I'd never buy any gems mind, but he does have a following of people who think he is so bad that he is good. He is a very good salesman, IMO, but...

Have you considered commissioning a musician to write you a couple of totally original tracks that you could then own?

This is absolutely spot on. Especially in the wake of the bid/pricedrop debacle. There is an automatic, almost subconscious, feeling now that a channel is trying to rip you off. Outlet need to be squeaky clean and get it right from the start to combat that.

I'm no expert but it definitely looked like it wasn't filmed on a TV camera. Broadcast quality cameras are serious pieces of equipment costing many thousands of pounds. I would be interested to hear what cameras outletchannel is using.

Why did you tell me it would be in HD tomorrow? And why not use a pic of your call centre rather than a library image.

Just a small point... The music is the same music pricedrop/bid used. I would have thought the idea was to distance yourself from a defunct channel with so many ASA judgements etc Using the same music is a mistake in my view.

Fair play.... That halogen oven is a brilliant price. £10 cheaper than amazon. Can't argue with that. Top stuff. Might get one.

HD is very good news. I will be continuing to watch, no doubt about that.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think you are ripping people off. But as I said weeks ago, when news of this channel first came out, I don't see how new channels of this nature can be profitable when computers and tablets etc now have about 90% penetration in UK homes. If you are saying that it...

On the plus side, the products are good. If they were genuine bargains that I couldn't get cheaper online then I would be tempted to buy. Presentation and set is quite good but the picture quality is appalling on my sky HD box.

Yep. £134.99. More expensive than amazon. I challenge theoutletchannel to price check amazon. They won't. Ever. No different to the tactics on all the disreputable channels.

I'm not impressed. The very first item is a vax air3 vacuum cleaner. Price checks are done against Sainsbusrys and currys which are selling it at £249.00 But a quick google shoes that Amazon are selling it at £124. Let's see what the price on the outlet channel is....

I really don't understand why you are doing this. I don't want to sound like a misery guts who is just putting a downer on this for the sake of it but I think a reality check is in order now. Starting a new TV shopping venture now is utterly ridiculous. It is like opening a new chain of video...

The administrators have cited a sudden, "unexpected" drop in sales over the last couple of months. Given that the channels hadn't changed that much and were still pulling the same scams with the same presenters, I can only assume that the word about imminent administration had gotten round and...
