         The purpose of this amendment is to report the sale and assignment of
a convertible note issued by Shop at Home, Inc., and previously held by Global
Network Television, Inc.  Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D are amended and
restated in their entirety as follows.

CUSIP No. 825066 30 1

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         See Item 5 below concerning the rights of the reporting persons to
acquire shares of the common stock of the Issuer, which rights may be exercised
in the future to acquire securities of the Issuer.

         On October 1, 1997, Global Network Television, Inc., sold and assigned
its entire interest in a convertible note (the "Note") of the Issuer to FBR
Private Equity Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.  The Note, dated
August 16, 1995, was in the original principal amount of $2,000,000.  The Note
is convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the rate of one (1)
share of stock for each $3.00 of the principal balance of the Note.  Upon its
acquisition of the Note, FBR Private Equity Fund, L.P., immediately converted
the Note to Common Stock of the Issuer.  At that time, the principal balance of
the Note was $1,333,532 and was converted to 444,177 shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer.

         On October 21, 1997, SAH Holdings, L.P., distributed a total of
382,100 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to its partners on a pro rata
basis according to the number of units owned by each partner.  This
distribution reduced the number of shares of Common Stock held by SAH Holdings,
L.P., from 2,781,940 (24.1% of those outstanding) to 2,399,840 (20.8% of those
outstanding).  Of the 382,100 distributed to the partners, a total of 154,200
shares (1.3% of those outstanding) were distributed to J.D. Clinton and his
related interests.

         SAH Holdings, L.P., and its affiliates intend to sell approximately
100,000 shares into the public market for the purpose of increasing the public 
float of Issuer's stock. In addition, SAH Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates plan
to exercise existing warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Issuer.

         Except as stated above, or as disclosed in Item 5 below, none of the
reporting persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would
result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (ii) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation
involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) a sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any
change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including
any plans or proposals to change the number

or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (v) any
material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer,
(vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure,
(vii) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
Issuer by any person, (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be
delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be
quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
association, (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated
above.
