                                    SCHEDULE 13D
                                 (Amendment No. 14)

                                    Statement Of

                                    BARRY DILLER

                          Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
                           Securities Exchange Act of 1934

                                    in respect of

                                      QVC, INC.


                 This Report on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock,
         par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of QVC, Inc.
         (formerly, "QVC Network, Inc."), a Delaware corporation (the
         "Company").  The Report on Schedule 13D filed by Barry Diller (the
         "Reporting Person"), as most recently amended by Amendment No. 13
         thereto, dated as of August 19, 1994 (as amended, the "Schedule
         13D"), is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.  The
         Reporting Person filed the initial Report and Amendment Nos. 1
         through 10 of the Schedule 13D as a member of a Reporting Group
         with Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation ("Comcast"),
         and Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Liberty").
         Mr. Diller filed Amendment Nos. 11 through 13 separately and not
         as part of a joint filing.  Comcast, Liberty and the Company are
         parties to a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to
         which Comcast and Liberty have agreed to acquire the Company.  Mr.
         Diller is not participating with Comcast and Liberty in such
         transactions (except as previously disclosed).  All capitalized
         terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
         ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

         Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.

                 On February 9, 1995, Mr. Diller exercised options to pur-
         chase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the provisions
         of the Equity Compensation Agreement.

         Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

                 Based on information contained in Amendment No. 18 to the
         Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Commission on February 10, 1995 by
         Comcast, Liberty and QVC Programming Holdings, Inc., their
         affiliate ("Holdings"), and the press release, dated February 10,
         1995, filed as an exhibit thereto, on February 10, 1995, Comcast
         and Liberty announced that Holdings, pursuant to its tender offer
         for the stock of the Company (the "Offer"), accepted for purchase,
         pursuant to the Offer, all shares validly tendered and not
         withdrawn prior to expiration of the Offer.  Comcast and Liberty
         announced that the shares tendered at the time of such expiration,
         together with the shares already owned by Holdings, represented
         about 98.7% of the Company's outstanding common shares, about 100%
         of the Company's outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and about
         99.8% of the Company's outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.

         Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                 Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
         supplemented to include the following information:

                        (a) and (b)  Mr. Diller and Comcast were parties to the
         Stockholders Agreement.  This Report is filed by Barry Diller.
         Pursuant to the Stockholder Letter Agreement, Mr. Diller and Comcast
         have agreed the Stockholders Agreement was terminated as of August 4,
         1994 (unless the Merger Agreement is terminated).  The Offer
         contemplated by the Merger Agreement has been completed and Holdings
         disclosed that it has accepted for payment all shares of the Company's
         stock validly tendered pursuant thereto.  Assuming no termination of
         the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement has been terminated
         and Mr. Diller no longer shares dispositive or voting power with
         respect to any securities of the Company beneficially owned by
         Comcast, Holdings or their affiliates and, as of the date

         hereof, Mr. Diller does not beneficially own any equity securities of
         the Company.  See Item 4.

                        (c)  On February 9, 1995, Mr. Diller (i) exercised all
         Options granted to Mr. Diller by the Company on December 9, 1992
         pursuant to the Equity Compensation Agreement, which Options entitled
         him to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) tendered
         pursuant to the Offer 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock (which include
         the 6,000,000 shares received pursuant to the exercise of the Options)
         owned by him in exchange for $46 per share of Common Stock.  See Items
         5(a) and (b).

                        (e)  As a result of his tender of Common Stock to
         Holdings on February 9, 1995 pursuant to the Offer, Mr. Diller ceased
         to be the beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of a class of
         equity securities of the Company.  See Items 5(a) and (b).
