Known issue with DVR’s

DVR recordings freeze, sound goes silent and sometimes just doesn’t work. Have reset box and refreshed system many times. Heard this is a national issue and want to know what is being done about it and are they going to upgrade software in boxes?

@user_4850c9 We would be happy to look into this with you.

We have been having this issue with our DVR's for several weeks now. The playback freezes and/or the sound cuts out or it just doesn't work and we end up having to watch on demand. We were told this is a known issue and I would like to know what is being done and when you expect to have it fixed? I have signed in so you should have my name and address on file.

@user_4850c9 due to account security we do need to verify each person we speak with in a Direct Message even if you are signed into your account. If you would like to send us a message confirming your name and service address we can continue on the public platform as long as we are not providing any account specifics. Otherwise, to keep your account secure we would need to jump back in to a DM. 

 

I want to make sure we are respecting your time and not repeat the steps you have taken previously outside of rebooting your box. What additional troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you also rebooted your modem?

 

I also wanted to make sure you are aware that any time you need to troubleshoot our Xfinity app can assist you step by step. It is not just to pay your bill or to get notifications about interruptions. To learn how to troubleshoot in the future you can follow the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/using-xfinity-app. Honestly, it is the best app to date that we offer and super easy to use for all of your account needs!
