Tiling/pixelation issues

It seems Xfinity's signal with Bally Sports Sun is not coming through correctly for me. I have constant tiling and pixelation. I've been trying to watch Miami Heat and Florida Panther games through this awful pixelation while at the same time paying $200 a month for service...a technician came 2 weeks ago, made some changes (great guy) seemed knowledgeable and it was indeed fixed...for about 3 days. Then, it started again. I called today for a tech. I have an appointment for next Saturday. I really need Xfinity to come through in a solution 😩 Is anyone else going through this with Comcast/ Xfinity??

Same for me here! Very frustrating and seems to have just started recently! Sure don't want to have to call Xfinity as it's always an unsatisfactory experience...on hold or being transferred to person after person for hours! Can't imagine this issue can't be readily fixed on your end.

We have had the same issues. Seems to have started about a week ago. Have the issue only on sports channels, like ESPN, Bally Sports, etc. Was hoping to find a solution here. Don't have the patience to call.

Hi everyone. We understand dealing with poor picture quality is incredibly frustrating. This is certainly not something we want anyone to be experiencing, as we know it's not a good experience. There are ways/options we have available to help fix these kinds of things. Sometimes it's a signal quality problem, sometimes it's a problem with the network broadcast itself. It just depends. For those of you experiencing this issue outside of the channel mentioned by OP, please create your own thread with a summary of your concern and we will be happy to help. Thanks!

I'm experiencing pixeling on more than just Bally channels. It happens almost daily on numerous channels, some from local signals and some from sat. signals. When you check for outages in your area there never seems to be a problem. When there is an outage you can't check because there is no signal! I have tv, internet,phone and wi fi all through comcast. I believe it's a amplifier problem on comcast's end. SIGNAL STRENGTH NEEDS TO BE AMPLIFIED!

It seemed to start with me in Mpls around August 2021, around when Bally's took over FS1. I thought it was just Bally's but then noticed TILING constantly on ESPN, Bloomberg, BTN and even CBS. NBC seems to be the only channel (that I watch) where I haven't noticed it during Sports. 70% of the time it's Sports events though, and there is no "pattern" when it happens.

Changes and Tech visits:

1) Tech 1 removed 4 extra dangling wires from 3 nearby telephone poles and replaced my wire from telephone pole to residence. He also replaced switch in exterior box and replaced new overhead exterior wire connectors from outside house to inside.

2) I also replaced DVR and TV box and swapped out the cable from my modem to outlet-don't try the Wireless boxes.

3) 2nd Tech checked interior signal and said it's strong and said it's an issue from the HUB to the residence?

4) 3rd Tech replaced connectors by both TV's and said they were old. Didn't do any good.

Also, have you noticed about the same time "Smart Resume" got weaker. SR used to stop right when the sporting event or show came back on. Now when it stops, it backs up 5-8 seconds so you still see part of the last commercial.

Also, when you "rewind and stop" now, it jumps ahead 5-8 seconds so you usually have to rewind again to catch what you missed.

Comcast did something to their network. Not sure if it’s a IP, Streaming or Satellite but Xfinity can’t fix it. I’ve asked for ½ off the cable portion of my bill until it’s fixed. They told me to change carriers (for Cable but not Internet though-since I still have a 2-yr contract). I reminded them a contract is for quality service and picture and that's not being provided.

Also, don't switch to the "Wireless" boxes, you'll lose several features including "pause then slow motion" for anything you want to replay in slow motion.

Also, if you're from Comcast, don't apologize or ask for information. Go to your boss or their boss and ask them how we're going to correct the Tiling issue that popped up? I would bet someone there knows what's causing it.

Also, Comcast please bring back "AUTO EXTEND". You can't give us a feature like that and take it away. And please don't say it wasn't working correctly. It was flawless for 2 years.

There is absolutely a problem on comcast's end with the signal. For me, it happens predominately with the live coverage of Miami Heat games (on Bally Sports) which is incredibly frustrating. Exactly as you say - the tiling and pixelation allows you to miss some exciting moments of the game. Very frustrated. I have had a technician out twice. One repaired something outside and the other replaced a cable going to the main cable box. Neither of these have helped with the issue in the guest bedroom which is the only tv not connected to a box.

Yes, we are having the same issue started on Super Bowl Sunday, and still having issue. Called tech support several times, for them to do a box reset, which we already did on our own. Finally had technician come out changed out the box and modem said it was fine. A few hours after he left same issue. Called for another technician came out yesterday. Changed out all the cables inside and outside. Last night tiling/pixilation came back. It is so frustrating, Xfinity saying everything is fine on their end. We have new everything still an issue. UGH!!!!

I had the same problem. I had a total of 5 set top boxes; 1 DVR cable connected, 1 TV box cable connected, and 3 TV wireless boxes (2 XI6 and 1 Xi5). My WiFi is rated at 900mbps but it tests at over 1gb. I only had the pixilation problem on the wireless boxes. When I checked the signal strength on the wireless boxes I found that the 2 Xi6 boxes had a strong signal. The Xi5 box was getting a weak signal. I decided to trade out the Xi5 wireless box for a cable connected one and the problem disappeared.

This is happening to us for the Ray's games and its SO annoying and frustrating! I went to my uncles house last night who also has Xfinity and same thing. Horrible pixelation. They've had a technician out three times. Still not fixed. Why am I paying 300 a month for this??

It sounds like this issue is isolated to a single channel or network, correct? Is this occurring in both Standard Definition(SD), and High Definition(HD)? Are you viewing the channel on a TV Box, or streaming the channel through our streaming app? Thanks!
