4k Olympics choppy, long pauses in the video

This happened during the summer Olympics too, it’s as though the equipment just isn’t fast enough to show smoothe 4k video. How do I fix it?

We are experiencing the same problems this evening. We had no problems yesterday. The channel is unwatchable in this condition. It’s only the 4K channel that I can see. Hope this doesn’t happen during the Super Bowl.

What is going on with the Olympics broadcast?  I go on my local channel, and when I go to Guide it says I am on Channel 1347, Why?

I am also having issues with picture and sound?

Greetings, @Rankinginsight! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with the 4K Olympics broadcast, but you have definitely come to the right place for assistance.

 

Have you noticed any similar issues with other 4K content on your equipment, like Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, etc., or is it just happening with these live broadcasts? Were you able to perform any troubleshooting steps that, even temporarily, corrected the issue, or has it been completely uncorrectable up to this point?

@XfinityJamesC​ no, other 4k content displays fine on my equipment, it’s just 4k broadcast content -it happened last Olympics and is happening again now in the Winter Olympics 😔This really sucks… I’ve tried restarting the box, resetting the resolution to a lower resolution and then back to 4k to no avail

Why does the Guide say I am now on channel 1347, not 285 that I was on
