The viewer line in our data is 1-866-587-4653. HGTV also runs a contact and help section on hgtv.com covering the shows, the website and the app, and the network answers on its social accounts, which is where feedback about programming tends to get noticed fastest.

HGTV is part of Warner Bros. Discovery, so anything about billing, the stream itself or your subscription sits with whoever charges you rather than with the network. Sort out which of the two your problem is before you spend an afternoon in the wrong queue. Charged for a subscription you cancelled? Report it on our website and we push it out by email, social media and printed letters.

Send it to the network rather than to the production company: use the contact section on hgtv.com or the social accounts, name the show and the episode, and put the point in a sentence or two. Feedback about casting and representation, about repeats, or about how much advertising runs inside an hour all lands in the same place, and numbers are what move it, because networks track how many viewers raise the same thing.

One thing worth knowing: cable networks such as HGTV are not regulated the way over the air broadcast stations are, so the Federal Communications Commission handles far less here than most viewers assume. That leaves the network itself, its advertisers and public pressure as the routes that actually work. A complaint filed through our complaint process adds to that: a community of consumers gives advice while you chase your resolution, and other viewers with the same point can back your case up.

HGTV does not bill viewers directly, so you cancel wherever the charge starts: your cable or satellite provider, the streaming service that carries the channel, or an app store subscription taken out through Apple or Google. Check the description on your bank or card statement to see which company is actually charging you, because that is the only party that can stop it.

If a charge keeps coming after you cancelled, ask that provider for written confirmation of the cancellation date and a refund of anything billed after it, and take it to your card issuer as a disputed transaction if they refuse. Say who charged you and when you cancelled in your complaint here: our trained AI opens a case file and keeps coaching you on what to send that provider next.

Start from the rule that holds for every genuine giveaway: a real sweepstakes never asks you to send money to claim a prize. Calls, emails, texts and social accounts announcing that you have won an HGTV home or a cash prize, and then asking for a handling charge, a tax payment up front, gift cards or your bank details, are impersonating the network. Official HGTV promotions are announced on hgtv.com with published rules, and you enter through the network's own site rather than through a message that finds you.

Check the sender address and the account name closely, do not click the links in the message, and go to hgtv.com yourself to see whether the promotion exists at all. If you already sent money or handed over details, contact your bank immediately and report the impersonation to the network and to your national consumer or fraud reporting body.
