mlb extra innings games often have incorrect start times listed

The day's list of games often don't match the guide - one or the other will be incorrect and we are still having issues with DVR games - the playback glitches, freezes, won't fast forward and will sometimes just delete itself so we can't watch it at all.  This happens every year.; It can't be our box - we've had it replaced recently. 

Are other subscribers having similar issues?  It's a daily frustration in our house.

Hi there, @careyw. Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum. When start times are not accurate, it can definitely be frustrating. This is generally due to first pitch times. If there is something you want to record, we recommend adjusting the recording time. You can find directions on how to do that here : https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-modify-the-recording-time-of-a-program. This may help mitigate the issue.

Yeah, I don't think that addresses the issue.  There are so many problems with our MLB service - some is probably the feed from MLB Extra Innings and some is probably due to Xfinity, at this point I have no way of knowing.  It's been ongoing for years and Xfinity has never been able to address it.  At this point, we're just waiting for another provider to allow us to watch the games the way we want to - record them to watch them later and be able to fast forward through the slow parts.  That's never worked well with Xfinity and we have no idea why and apparently neither does anyone at Xfinity.  It is definitly not worth the price we pay, but we haven't found a replacement yet.

Thanks for those additional details. Are you seeing these issues on every game you record?

Not every game, but various issues happen regularly - freezing, losing sound, playback stops, recordings disappear / delete themselves.
