All streaming services freeze after ads...

Hi. First of all, I wasn't sure exactly where to post this. We are unable to use any of our streaming services: Disney+ Hulu, HBO Max, Netflix, etc. because as soon as they go to their first ad while watching, the app freezes(it doesn't matter which app it is), and we have to hit the "back" button and restart the program and hope that it continues to work....most of the time it doesn't, it just stays frozen. This has been occurring for several months. How can this be resolved? Thank you.

This is happening to me too. I don’t have any issues if I use the streaming services on my iPad just my tv. I’m having a technician come out later this week and would love to know if there is a resolution. Thank you

user_58w6ac, I'm sorry to hear you are seeing the same trouble. I see you've reached out, and we did a few troubleshooting steps. However, I understand we are sending a tech after getting no improvement. I'll be glad to follow up after the visit to see how everything went. Have you seen any changes in the past couple of days? Are you seeing this issue with all apps as well, or only specific platforms?

No and I contacted Disney support. This is a known issue with Xfinity. The technician changed out my cable box and it’s still not working on the tv.  However it is fine if I use my laptop or tablet. Very frustrating.

What box did he change it to? I'm seeing that the XG1V4 and the Xi6 boxes solve the problem. I have a XG2V2 that has this issue

Thank you for this information. I’m not sure what box was used but I’m due for a callback from the technician’s supervisor and I will check and relay the information.

I am experiencing the same issue as well. I have changed out the tv box and the modem. It is very frustrating. Like others have noted, no issues when streaming on phone, computer or iPad.
