Greetings, @user_394d70! I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to reach out about WBAL. Has the channel improved or still freezing and buffering? If this is still ongoing, are you watching on an X1 box or another device using the Xfinity Stream app? Have you tried any troubleshooting steps such as a System Refresh signal or using the Xfinity app troubleshooting?

Thanks for reaching out to us, do apologize for any inconvenience you have been having watching MSNBC. Are you still having issues with that Channel? Have there been any troubleshooting steps you've tried on your own like unplugging the Xfinity cable box power cord from the back of the box for 30 seconds and plugging it back in? Or if you're streaming your cable services, have you tried doing a hard reboot on your modem by unplugging the power cable from the back of the modem and plugging it back in?

Mine too, has been happening for a couple of weeks. Only MSNBC. Very annoying when it freezes every few minutes.

It sounds incredibly frustrating when you're trying to relax and watch a channel like MSNBC, only to have issues. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this is causing you. We absolutely understand how disruptive that can be!

We'd love to help get this sorted out for you as quickly as possible. To do that, could you let us know if you're still having trouble with MSNBC right now?

 

Also, to avoid having you repeat anything, could you share if you've already tried any of these basic troubleshooting steps on your own?

* If you have a cable box, did you try giving it a refresh by unplugging its power cord for about 30 seconds and then plugging it back in?

* If you're streaming your services, have you attempted a full reset of your equipment by unplugging the power cable from the back of your modem and plugging it back in?

 

Let us know, and we'll figure out the next steps together!

Same in the Baltimore area today with MSNBC.  NBC has also been subject to intermittent freezing the past month or so.  Funny since Comcast owns NBC
