What is with all the ads. They even interrupt you in the middle of your game? They are rude. You said the new format was going to be better, ads galore, no prizes — what’s better?
Posted in Forum: HSN ArcadeJust got a new laptop and now when I play arcade games I can no longer see hsn’s livestream programs. A popup message appears in the streaming area on the right side of my laptop monitor that says “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot”. I’m already signed into hsn, YouTube and google, and still can’t see livestream so I’m confused as to why I see this message and where else I might need to log in to see streaming programming. Important to note that every time I click on a game, the livestream area randomly opens and the livestream program appears then immediately closes and the popup message appears. I’m not computer savvy, can anyone out there offer suggestions as to why this might be happening and what I might do to fix it? I’ve called hsn technical report and they couldn’t help. They said they would pass the issue onto the Arcade people but I would not receive a response from them. I’ve also tried reach out to Arkadium, but received no response. Thanks so much.

I’m sorry the games aren’t working for you, @ebony46. Also, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I have reached out to the Arcade Team and will have them look into this issue for you.
I finally was able to stay signed in and play arcade games. Thank you HSN it team.
This is the response I received from the Arcade. Everyone is having the same issue.

Your friends in fun,
Posted in Forum: HSN ArcadeDoes anyone know why you now have to sign in separately into the Arcade? I didn’t have to this morning but now I do. Is this just so they and their partners and vendors can all have access to our private information like names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.? I had already signed into HSN, but the games now require a separate sign-in.
Posted in Forum: HSN ArcadeAnyone else having issues this evening with getting the games to open? It will allow me to click on them, but a blank screen comes up but no game. Have had other issues with the arcade lately as well in that every time you ended a game and clicked on another it would not populate so I had to go out of the arcade and re-enter for it to bring up another game. Just wondering what is going on and if anyone else is having this issue with no games opening.
There are no prizes anymore and not much incentive to play and so after trying the new arcade for about a week I totally stopped playing. The ads are annoying and I have found another free site to play on which only has one quick ad after a full game with nothing distracting while playing the game. Actually it works out well for me because I seem to be buying and spending less, I am no longer watching every night so I’m not being enticed by what is going on at HSN by the little box that showed the products as I was online playing the games. .I enjoyed playing the games each night while watching HSN TV on the screen and have been lucky and won a couple of times over the years. I had a feeling the HSN theme “It’s Fun Here” would end when HSN was acquired by the owners of QVC. No problem though, I did have fun, but all good things come to end. Although I will buy less I will still buy a few things I feel I need – mostly Andrew Lessman vitamins which are basics for me, but I don’t have to watch any shows to replace vitamins – I can just go online when I need to reorder, It will save me money because there will be no more impulse buys which was happening too often anyway. Best of luck to the players that still enjoy the HSN games.
I no longer play in the Arcade and that is because of the viruses my computer ensued. Some of the games were fun and totally relaxed me at the end of a busy day I miss competing with others who played the same venue. As far as prizes goes, I tried for the items I could use and did win once in all those years that they had it. However, when the prizes started to look like a bargain basement I stopped. It seems it was inevitable that HSN would do away with something that people enjoyed. I surmise, in some respect, that those ads ;enable the customer to play for free. Hmm….other sites do not have things that block the process.
HI FAIRIE, you can remove the blocker by going into your virus software and changing the VPN to no. When done, you can return to add the VPN. I no longer play games in the Arcade and now use other avenues. I do check the programs for the next day and if there is anything I like, I immediately put it into favorites. Of course, you do need to sign in to see the Alerts. Today, there are many viruses lurking on the web in almost every venue., Whatever your computer and virus software are doing to keep you safe is a good thing. I had problems where I could not log in, etc.. I ran my virus software and it found many problems which have been rectified. I only log in to see my favorites and to look at the items for today. Stay safe as you go to other web sites.
Posted in Forum: HSN ArcadeI know you use ads for the games, but there are so many repeats of same ad in a row that it’s a real turn off. A new ad today uses a– in it. I’m not a prude but it very not good. Please check this out.
Hi, when you go back to your profile, and click change profile click on humans. Some of those you can purchase, they are around 800 coins. Really someone with HSN should have posted how all of this GREAT new arcade works. I’m not a fan of the coin system. But if we want to play the games we have to follow what they do. Good luck,
To get an idea of what I was really going through, I posted to the Customer Service thread either Tuesday or Wednesday and daily since then. My advice to you and to those who read your thread is to run your virus software when leaving the Arcade area. I do not mean a little scan. You need to do a complete one which in some cases (like mine) take hours or more. It is very scary to have someone follow you as you visit other websites using the same and different browsers. This happened to me years ago with the same game people, Arkadium and another one under E.. When I realized who HSN chose for the Arcade I was scared. However, being that HSN has a Tech Unit and they did their homework, I thought playing would be safe and of course, after seeing Hubby, it quiets the nerves and gives me some relaxation at the end of the day. For now, I will be going elsewhere to play whatever. Also, please remember to turn your computer completely off at the end of day. You have no idea who may be lurking on the web looking to do ham to your computer. I am up and running again, but will not be holding my breath. Tomorrow is another day, Hopefully, I will be able to sign in and shop or do what we call “window shopping.”
I am hoping that we will also have a peak at the Aurora Borealis. When I was in my teens (yesterday), my dad had awaken me so I could watch the sky change colors from red to blues to white and back to the blues. It was breathtaking. Dad was watching the cloud formations as he drove home from work which had to be around midnight. Like you, I hope to have another opportunity. Oh, by the way, as I left the rehab, the moon was a yellowy orange. I hope that it might be an indication of what is to come. I may go out shortly to take a peek, but will first look out of the kitchen window to see if there is anything. Have a nice evening and a great adventure. Take pictures if you can. I will try with Kindle and my phone. Oh, yes, on the new offspring visiting and drinking water. They look awful, but many have become household pets. Me, not sure if I want one near me…….
