NBC, CBS, ABC are working intermittently

These channels sometimes work in the early hours of the day but have stopped working almost entirely in the evenings when we want to watch them.  They are either unavailable with a message that says 'we are aware of the problem and working to fix it' or they connect but are entirely pixelated and unwatchable.  This has been going on for weeks.  When will this be resolved?  It's so frustrating we are getting to the point of dropping our service and switching to a different provider.  A few days I understand technical issues but not weeks going on a month.  Please fix this issue.

Hi @user_ad57a6

 

I appreciate you reaching out and sharing all these details with us. We want to be sure we can look into this ASAP. What sort of device are you using to watch these channels with? Is it a cable box, or a streaming service?

All of these issues are via the cable box(s).  It does it on all 3 boxes we have.  I am able to log into my xfinity account and watch the channels on my computer via the internet, but not on any of our TV's.  Watching via the internet isn't really a solution for us as my dad is 90 years old and stays in the living room and not on a computer.

Thanks - Brad

We are having the same issue in our town, a number of channels are getting the same error message as the user above.  From what I'm hearing different people in my town are having the same issue.  It's on both cable boxes.
