Program reminders not appearing on screen. The list does show up on guide but at time of program reminder does no appear 

Every once & a while the reminder pops up on screen at time of show but its intermittent but most often not working anyone else reporting this issue?

Apologies for this issue and experience.  Thanks also for your continued patience. I wanted to share a bit of an update and some background below:

 

Our engineering team is aware of and is working on this issue with Reminders.

 

High level, the identified problem is essentially that our architecture is currently no longer optimized for the amount of reminders that are being added (we’ve seen a large increase in reminders over the years). As a result, a handful of reminders are being dropped.

 

A customer with a large amount of reminders is much more likely to experience random drops because of it.

 

Our team is currently working on updating our infrastructure to better optimize against the large load and are looking at around a month out before the changes will be deployed.

 

The team had this prioritized earlier, but unfortunately, because of COVID, the timeline had been pushed to accommodate more pressing issues.

Getting a new box won't help. Already did that last week. Deleted every timer...reset on new box nothing helps. We have to keep calling to report because Comcast refuses to look at this forum and actually fix the problem. 3 weeks and counting

I am having a hard time rationalizing paying my almost $200 bill again this month, when something as basic as "program reminder" isn't working.  I'm a long time customer and have never missed a payment, even when channels are removed, and there's frequent program interruption.  For the last week in March and now the entire month of April, this hasn't been working.  Why should I be expected to pay the full amount, when I'm not receiving the full product?  I rarely contact Comcast for help, I just live with the problems.  A call w/an agent today got me one set program to work.  Now, it's not working again.
