NFL Red Zone is all choppy

What is going on with Red Zone? It's all choppy. Plays for about 10-30 seconds then stalls and freezes then plays again. It is horrible, we can't even watch it. Yes. We have done all of the troubleshooting.

Hi @user_622ce8 Thank you for reporting the issues you were having while watching the red zone on Sunday. I'm sorry to see there were so many interruptions. I would love to look into this for us and help make sure we don't have a repeat next Sunday. For my own use I have the Xfinity stream app on a roku TV, and we did not have issues like this. Were you watching through the app or a cable box?

Same issue here. I don’t watch a lot of tv. If you ruin my red zone, I should get a refund. That’s one of the big reasons I have cable at all.

Agreed! I just wasted 15 mins trying to chat with a live agent but it never even connected me with one. I literally have cable for Redzone. Barely watch anything else. I think a refund is necessary. Get it right, get it tight, Xfinity!!

Good afternoon @user_365fb1, thank you for reaching out to us on our community forums. Were you experiencing issues in the stream app, on a cable box, or both?

Awful. You have to get 6 hours out of 168 hours in a week right and you can’t. Refund!

I am also frustrated with NFL RedZone glitching, going pixelated, and freezing up. It seems to be isolated to NFL RedZone on my streaming device as other applications are fine in comparison.

If there is a fix, I would LOVE it though!

@manielmoth, we appreciate you reaching out to us here on the Xfinity Community Forums page. I completely understand your frustration with issues accessing Redzone without error. Are you using the same device every time you attempt to watch Redzone?
