Gemporia (formerly known as Rocks TV) is an American reverse auction jewelry shopping channel which formerly was carried on American cable and satellite providers, but is now IPTV-exclusive. Gemporia was launched on July 11, 2012 as Rocks TV, and operated from the United Kingdom from The Genuine Gemstone Company studios in Redditch, sharing personnel with sister UK channel Gems TV. On December 1, 2015, Rocks TV was rebranded as Gemporia.
The network was mainly available via DirecTV via a purchased channel slot, along with the paid programming channels of various cable providers. It was discontinued on December 5, 2016, when it ended traditional wireline distribution to convert to an online-only model.
