This issue with channel 188 (NBC) has been going on for months, both on cable and while streaming. Happens on all TVs in my house.  All I keep seeing from Xfinity is users need to try to fix it.  How many people have to complain about the issue before Xfinity takes ownership of the issue?

I guess this forum is for customers. Not sure there is moderation or if xfinity even sees this. Pathetic,

Thank you so much for the information. Have you tried to reboot the TV box?

I'm also seeing it in Mt. Prospect.    It may only happen when the X1 box is set to DD or Expert audio.  My receiver seems to show a glitch in the DD and then it comes back.    Interestingly, I have Peacock Premium Plus and the problem never happens when streaming the live NBC channel from it, even on the same X1 box.

Why do people have to jump through hoops checking their equipment? Obviously it’s not each box, as others have noted. Right now, Saturday night, Notre Dame football, same [Edited: "Language"] thing happening. Still happening only on 188. Fix it Comcast!

We are sorry to hear that you are also experiencing this issue @MuttiD. Is the sound still cutting out on channel 188? Are you experiencing this issue on any other channels as well?

NBC 188 audio has intermittently dropped out on my XG2v2 box which I’ve had a few months. It also intermittently dropped out on my previous Pace RNG150 box. The problem is obviously an issue on the signal senders side.

Does Comcast own NBC?

Yes, they do! You would think they would be able to fix this by now.

I’m not a college football fan but I have the USC vs Notre Dame game on now. The audio has dropped out for several seconds at least twice.

Thank you for the heads-up. @user_yyxt5a is this tied to NBC ch. 188?

@XfinityThomasB​ @user_yyxt5a 

I also lost video last night like you did. Had to switch from 188 to the standard def channel (it also had audio glitches occasionally too, but at least a picture). That was after I had already instinctively rebooted my box before I ever came on the forum.
