HGTV
Reviews and Complaints

I subscribed to HGTV magazine & paid by check which cleared. After 3 months of not receiving any issues I emailed them & confirmed they had my correct address. During this time I received several invoices. After three more months went by I emailed them & cancelled by subscription. I received a refund for the remaining issues but not for the 6 months that I had not received any issues. I emailed them again & demanded a full refund. HGTV magazine subscription is a scam & I would not recommend you subscribed to their magazine.

Ordered one year subscription. Did not renew. Continued to get the magazine and a bill for $34.97. I have responded twice by mail and once by email saying I did not renew nor did I care for this magazine. While typing this complaint, someone just answered my phone call. Chelsea. She said that my writing the company was never read because it is done by an imagine scanner. She politely cancelled everything and since I had called in, she proceeded to offer me a (paid) subscription to another magazine. Are you kidding? Oh, my. I would not have taken a free one! I have been trying to get OUT!

Exactly. You never see a single parent whom rented an apartment for years win a home. The winner is always a wealthy couple that owns beautiful homes or vacation homes that aren't in any need of a home.

To the Folks at the Hearst Empire:

I am interested to know why paid subscribers, like myself, were not notified that there would be no April/May issue and that June/July is "scheduled to be sent "Mid May".

I bought and paid for a subscription for myself and another for my Mom. A "reasonable person" would presume a February/March issue is followed by an April/May issue.

You have our e-mail addresses. Why request our e-mail if you can't use it to inform your customers of a delay. You use it for a lot of other things.

Now, after an hour of online searching, I have read that 3 more issues are "scheduled" for 2012. (NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -03/19/12).

So, can I expect?
1. Aug/Sept issue sent the end of July,
2. October/Nov issue sent the end of September and
3. Dec/Jan issue sent the end of November

If not, just say it is a quartly magazine and give yourselves the extra 30 days.

Annoyed in Florida

HGTV Magazine has problems, also. I sent in my payment for a subscription and kept getting nasty e-mails that I was ignoring their requests for payment. I sent in a copy of the check to them and still kept getting nasty e-mails. When I checked, it turned out that the company had already cashed the check. It appears that everyone has received the premier issue, but HGTV is not following up on their subscription requests. No further issues have come out. I know that HGTV is well known, but I am beginning to wonder about them.

My husband did the same thing. I just typed in the Billing address and searched it. I went to w1.buysub.com/pubs/HR/CLG/CLG_​FAQ.jsp?lsid=... - which is Country Living magazines customer service. I punched in my husband's account number and all the info came up. Then on the left hand side of the screen it said cancel subscription and I did that. we will see what happens. Good luck.

I was watcing My Lottery Dream Home and Fixer to Fabulous - 2 of my favorite shows - and was disappointed with the additional voice commentary inserted into each show.

The additional commentary was unnecessary. In addition, the voice was irritating especially the way the way sentences were finished with rising intonation.

Thank you!

I cannot find information anywhere on your website about the home sweepstakes regarding the Hurrican Status of the home. What type of hurrican could it withstand? How much would home/hurrcane insurance cost, etc. If you could eiother provide we with that information aor direct me to a place where I can find it, it would be very hulpful for me.

I am an admit watcher of this network. But one can only take so much. I am so tired of watching the same episodes on Friday.i totally love," My lottery dream home," and David is the best. The reruns are making me change the channel every time. Please new episodes. So, I can watch my favorite show. Thanks DB

I just Writing this notes cause. I don’t thing HGTV sweepstakes allows New Yorks to win. It’s been year I been try. But I never say someone from New York win. I love HGTV , but I guess it’s only for certain ppl to win. Just saying. It’s alway the south or west winning. So why try and get your hope up. Smh. Hopefully one day it will happen

I love HGTV shows and watch almost all of them but recently, someone had the bright idea of adding one minute to their programs.

This makes it impossible to record multiple shows at once since DirecTv allows only two.

Why so greedy? Here's just one of many examples:

Please fix this now.

2 males showing way too much public affection. Since HGTV shows are rated for all audiences this really crosses lines and gives no warning to protect eyes of especially young people.

I watch hg over half of my tv viewing. I understand the need for new shows unfortunately tho the new show with Terek and his wife is absolutely aweful! Listening to her whine is like finger nails on a chalkboard. Please do something with her. Hopefully not to renew the show but if not make her more human or something.

never ordered this yet received magazine and bill!

Please stop the Christina shows. She is a horrible role model, and she squeaks when she talks, her decor is always the same and we are SICK of her.

I barely watch your channel anymore because seniors don’t like her. We are your biggest audience, please STOP and find someone good.

So much for family entertainment. Go woke go broke. Drag queen judge for real. Can’t watch your channel again.
