Echoing on commercials only on sports channels

A moth ago the sports channels were pixilated. 1 different tech came out. The last one gave me all new cables inside and out and did some work on the pole. The pixilation was fixed, now the sports channels commercials are echoing. The techs have all done the same thing and nothing works. One tech even told me to get a new TV. I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was told they were short staffed and I would have to call back next week to set up an appointment. Well you know what that means. I will again, for the 6th time, be on the phone for another 3-4 hours while they "trouble shoot" even after I tell them everyone keeps doing that and it doesn't work. I feel like I'm stuck in a vortex.

Thank you for taking time to reach out to our forum about your issues with audio echoing on the sports channels, @user_a850ae! I feel like sports are always on in my house so it would be a huge nuisance if that was happening. Is this happening on more than one TV? Have you tried refreshing by pressing the "A" button on the Xfinity remote?

I have one TV. Actually I have told all the tech that too. They keep asking about other TVs. I am single and have one TV. ALL of the techs that have come to my home say the splitter on the pole needs to be checked. I was told Thursday, by a phone tech I needed a new TV. I asked her if that was the case, why were the problems only on the sports channels. She actually said "I don't know, but I do recommend you get a new TV." I asked another tech to please set me up for an appointment he said I would have to call back next week! I understand staffing is rough for everyone right now. I have tons of patience. But all anyone has done for me is reboot, refresh and ask me to push a button. I have done all of that more than once for over the last 3 months. I was given a new box, new cables, new work done on the outside and inside. The last tech, there have been 4, told me everything had been done as far as my home goes. The only thing left is to check the splitter on the pole between my home and my neighbor. I spent almost 3 hours on the phone Thursday. One of the techs knocked me off line while he bragged he could fix the echo. So not only did he NOT fix it, i was off line for over 2 hours. He kept saying he didn't know how he did that. I get the super high speed internet because of my work and I like listening to sports as I work and a few shows and the news. I don't need Hulu or Netflix.

Thank you for the additional details about the issues you're experiencing with the echoing. You mentioned all new cables, to confirm, was the HDMI cable also replaced or only the coax cables within your home? I would like to check on the signal reports and review notes on your account from the previous troubleshooting sessions. Please send us a chat message with your first and last name.

Is the peer to peer chat the little "square" box that has lines in it? I will not go back to chatting with a "chat tech". They do not help. They can not help. I came here looking to see if others had experienced the same issue. How about that, looks like they have. I hope the phone tech hasn't told too many other people to go get a new tv. 
As far as the cable. I have gotten ALL new, coax and HDMI. I was even give a new box. As I stated before,  everything is all new. Even the wiring that was done outside is new. As I said before the last tech told me, he purposely gave me all new everything, even outside of my home, so they would know the only thing left to be done is to check the splitter on the pole. He said if my neighbor doesn't have watch cable, they would not notice or report a problem. I'm so happy you want to help, but I am going to have to go into the local office explain the whole story over again for the 6th time, get on my knees and beg someone to come take a look. It is obvious this problem is not going to get fixed by rebooting, refreshing, clicking a button on my remote. I have lots of "nerves", unfortunately I am on my last one with Xfinity.
