pausing, pixelating, freezing, sound drops for several seconds

again at 1:45PM!

been pretty bad on and off in MD today as well

I'm having the same issue with Comcast in South Florida. Mainly CNN, momentary pause and loss of sound for maybe 3  or 4 seconds. Was bad for a month, then stopped for a week so I thought it was resolved, then started again on Nov 3 election night just as I turned on CNN. Just like someone above posted. I'm not even bothering to call Comcast because it seems to be happening on CNN all over the country so it's not my equipment or cable. I hope Comcast is aware of this issue.

This is happening to me only with CNN. All other news and major networks are fine. Very annoying. 

Same exact issue with the same group of channels as was decscribed before in Lansdale PA.  They freeze at least 3 times an hour.

Don't even waste your time with refresh and hard resets or having techs come out to check your lines. This is happening all over the country on the Comcast system. There are people on this thread posting the same exact symptoms  from Tennessee, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and I'm in Florida. I've had the issue on and off for at least a month, basically only CNN HD. The same symptoms......basically only CNN HD, 3, 4 or 5 second screen freeeze or herky jerky image and loss of audio then back to normal. Obviously this is some issue with the CNN feed to Comcast or some interface problem. I'm not a techie but it's not your equipment or STB. If you post this same problem here, post what state you're in to track this issue. Wake up Comcast!

I just re-read this thread and in addition to the states I listed above I found the CNN HD freeze/pause  for 4 seconds issue posted from people in Detroit Michigan and Seattle Washington so this issue seems to be nationwide.  CNN HD just froze for 4 seconds with audio loss as I was typing this at 6:38 pm, lol. I'm in Florida.

I am having the same problem in North Huntingdon, PA.  This is obviously a nation wide Comcast problem with CNN.  They should fix it! 

Yup ... I 've posted previously on this thread.  The issue cleared up for a few weeks, but it's definitely some sort of feed/trasnmission issue with CNN and possibly a few other channels that have come back.  I'm just north of Philly and I'm seeing it on my XG1v4 as well as my small DTA box box.  Singal levels are fine.  Friends who use Comcast in other states have been expriencing it as well.  I think with all the attention on the Election and folks watching CNN it's becoming more obvious.

It doesn't seem to be affecting all customers though, which make me think it may have to do with some sort of 'plant' equipment Comcast may be using in certain areas of the country.

Several times again today!!!  In Massachusets.

COMCAST are you reading this?  

I have been experiencing this exact thing -- CNN HD audio/video freezing (channel 842) for a few seconds and then starting up again -- happening randomly. I'm guessing at least once every 30 minutes or so. It doesn't happen on any other channel (that I watch, anyway).

This happens on both of my TVs. I have the X1 system, so one box is the main/hub box and the other is a secondary/spoke box.

A Comcast tech was out here 1-2 years ago and replaced various filters/splitters (there was a MOCA issue I think). I've had zero problems since then except for this one, which I think started several months ago.

I'm in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
