Pixelation issue is STILL ongoing
We've had several techs out to try to resolve this pixelation issue with no success. The most recent was Friday 1/5/24. The tech replaced all cables inside the house to the main TV and cable box. He tested all cables for signal strength and found everything to be fine. This only happens with broadcast stations, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, all cable news channels also. Apps and DVD player all with no issue. The cables/connections at the house outside have not been checked recently, to my knowledge. Nor has the main box in our culdesac.

Same here in Rowley, Mass. & had tech out a few times last Friday, & again Sunday…
I’m noticing it more on DVR playback… it’s almost unwatchable upon playback!! This is UNacceptable for all we pay!!
It will also drop sound occasionally on the channel I’m currently watching I have to switch channels to get the sound back…. and I told all techs this issue
I also talked to my local neighborhood online community at “Next Door” and a lot in our area are experiencing it but yet not a reported known issue
Been going on for about 2 weeks
PLEASE WISH THEY WOULD FIX IT!!

This really seems to lean toward a software or hardware issue with Xfinity. I'll wait to see what the senior tech says who should be here any minute. I have noticed comments about this pixelation issue from several different locations around the entire country, not just a Seattle area problem.

I’m in Salt Lake City, Utah experiencing the same problem. I had a technician out on 2/23/24 for three hours and the pixelation problem is still ongoing, in fact it seems to be worse. I find it to be on all recorded shows, it doesn’t matter what channels it’s heavily pixelated.

Well, the "tiling" issue persists. I gave it well over a month since the last, and very good, senior service tech, Curt, was here trying to fix this countrywide issue. I will be calling him back today. It appears the only resolution is to migrate to an "IP" type connection, rather than the traditional coax cable connection. Unfortunately, he told me doing this would remove the 4K option for TV resolution. Frustrating!!!

I have updated my DVR with Comcast and he reeeallyy made sure all my connections were good within the wall itself!!! Voila.. so far that has helped..
There are a few teeny tiny glitches but nothing like it was thank goodness..
My new DVR is without the clock and I LOVED my clock there being older to see it illuminated at night however... I tweaked it and now have a side bar illuminated clock to the side of that and it's perfect...
Hope this helps... might be as simple as a DVR replacement

We have exactly the same issues. The image pixelation and garbled audio on all major broadcast channels is constant. This was especially frustrating when the NCAA games are airing. A message kept appearing on the screen that Comcast was having issues. This informed us that it was not a problem with our equipment. I will be contacting the local ABC, NBC and CBS affiliate stations in addition to local PBS stations to let them know that Comcast is not allowing us to watch their shows. I am sure their sponsors will not be pleased! The reception is totally inadequate. We have performed all troubleshooting processes. Time to drop Comcast!

We've been having the same problem with pixelation for OVER A YEAR!!! Wires from outside have been checked and some have been replaced. In addition, the cable box is new. The techs have even told us that they don't have an explanation for the problem! We are expected to pay exhorbitant fees for less than acceptable service and I am beyond frustrated!!!!! Might I add, the countless wasted time waiting on the phone and dealing with numerous restarts of the system that NEVER work. I am close to leaving Xfinity completely and will be researching alternative cable and internet services.
