Live TV skipping and freezing on multiple channels

My TV has been skipping and freezing constantly on multiple channels, on multiple different cable boxes throughout the house. I have tried to reset each box individually, as well as several system resets, and still the problem persists. All connections and cables are good. I am not sure what else to try.

i am getting this issue on HGTV (only "bad" channel i've found so far..). it is frequently very pixelated.

shouldn't be any of my connections as all the other channels are fine, though i do have an xfinity cablecard in a Tivo box. it's been restarted and the problem persists.

comcast doesn't list any outages in my area..

any help would be appreciated!

call in to 800-Comcast and schedule a tech to your home's demarcation box (where cable enters your home). The tech has equipment that will find the channel's with the problem (high noise and/or low signal) and will get it fixed for you.
