Recurring Daily Outages - Specific Channels
I have a recurring issue that has not been resolved despite having contacted support in the past and being told it’s been resolved.
ISSUE:
Error code XRE-03059 (“Sorry, we’re having trouble connecting”) appears on specific channels — 470 (CNBC) (around 1 PM every day), 428 (Fox News) (around 5 PM most days), — every day at almost the exact same time. The picture goes blurred/blocky before the error appears. The affected channels stay unwatchable for several hours before coming back on their own.
WHAT I’VE ALREADY DONE:
• Reported this issue previously; it was not resolved.
• Rebooted the box and checked cable connections
WHY I DON’T THINK THIS IS AN IN-HOME ISSUE:
• Only certain channels are affected, not all of them, which suggests a problem with the specific frequency/QAM those channels are carried on rather than my box or wiring.
• It happens at a consistent time every day, which points to something upstream (node, tap, or plant-level interference) rather than an equipment fault that a simple reboot or in-home visit during business hours would catch.
WHAT I’M REQUESTING:
1. Please pull the signal level/SNR history from my modem and set-top box for the affected time window over the past several days, not just a live snapshot — the problem may not show up if checked at a different time of day.
2. Please escalate this to a plant/node-level or RF technician, not a standard in-home service call, since the pattern suggests an upstream signal issue affecting specific channels for my node.
3. If it turns out to be a known outage or maintenance window affecting my area, please confirm that and give me a timeline for a permanent fix.
Please let me know what you find and what the next steps are. At this point, this has been going on for a very long time - probably close to a year.
Thank you for your attention and assistance.

Thank you for reaching out. The error code XRE-03059 indicates that your cable TV receiver cannot tune to a specific channel. This may be due to a blocked, weak, or interrupted video signal. Common causes include loose or damaged cables, faulty splitters, or external signal issues.
Our Xfinity app is a useful tool for troubleshooting this message. It can help identify and potentially resolve the issues remotely.
If you are using a splitter, have you tried replacing it or bypassing it by connecting the coax cable directly to the TV box?
Also, please ensure that the coax cables are not damaged and that they are securely tightened.
