One channel (MSNBC) is not available intermittently - Anyone know the fix?

Asking for a friend, my TV is fine.  My friend asks:  Does anyone else have Comcast and have intermittent problems getting MSNBC? At least once a week, MSNBC is a black screen on my TV, usually for 10 or more hours!! Only that 1 channel goes black. All 3 TV's have the same problem.

The problem is with the incoming signal reaching the cable-box. The MSN HD channel frequency falls in an area where the signal can be interfered with. He/she need to check all connections for loose cables pulling loose from end connector, etc. They may need a technician to check their wiring.

 

Ask them to check the lower frequency SD channel. That one worked for me when I had the problem over a year ago on my HD channel.

When the dvr fails, a scheduled recording still records to the cloud. That’s what you’re seeing. MSNBC not coming in is a signal issue
