DVR Playback pixilated and skips

Often playback of recorded shows (all channels) the picture and audio is pixelated, skippy, and frozen, sometimes losing 20 seconds or more of scene and sound. Sometimes happens with live viewing but the frequency and duration during recorded shows is more significant and makes some shows unwatchable.

resetting the box has not helped.

Hi @user_128f06 Thank you for taking the time to reach out through Xfinity forums! Oh no! How frustrating! Are you still experiencing this issue?

@XfinityAliciaA​ yes, it happens on almost every recorded show. Sometimes it only skips 1-2 seconds but other times, it skips 15-20 making it very hard to watch anything saved on the dvr.

@user_128f06 I hate to hear it's still happening. We're happy to help you. Please check the connections to ensure they're all tight. If you happen to have another HDMI cable to test out, that can be helpful as well.

Connections are tight and cable swap didn’t change anything. Recorded shows are still skipping
