service issues online and in home cable

I am so frustrated with Xfinity and its service. I pay over $216 mo just for cable and internet and am a Platinum. They give you the run around and never fix anything.  Has anyone had issues with their cable recordings cutting out, not recording and recording a different show  ( not network issue since I checked)

I had a problem where the recordings digitized in places, looking like a kaleidoscope of colors with the audio also cutting out. I was told I would lose all my recordings from my old box, but since they were so bad anyway, I bit the bullet and traded it in for a new box that fixed the problem. The amazing thing is that my recordings were all there, and the video and audio was perfect, even on those recordings that had previously looked bad in the old box.

I am fighting a new problem now that could be another bad box but am holding off trading it in for a new one, as I need the tech who is expected on Monday to see the issue in person and can testify that I cannot tune into any channels except for just three up in the 1800s. The problem has persisted for more than a week so I would like to request some credit, but Comcast says everything looks good from their end, but it isn't. What's weird is that scheduled recordings on the channels I can't get to are showing up on my box anyway, and they look great, so my connectivity is fine, so guessing either a bad box or corrupted software in the box.  

Good luck to you.

My problem is back this morning. Please know that I didn't mean to hog your thread but at least you got a response from an official xfinity employee, and since I had experienced your issue with bad recordings I was trying to help. I know your frustration being Platinum and getting no satisfaction. I am Diamond and have had only three channels that tune in for over a week, which is not right. There is zero customer service or customer satisfaction lately.

thank Varlene for your comments. I know that Xfinity employee responded and working on dealing with them. Began searching for a new provider. Got rid of mobile service from them finally too. They will eventually lose all customers due to bad customer support and also bad service.  The website always has issues and do not use the international plan they have if you travel.

Comcast canceled my appointment because apparently everything looks great from their end. I thought a tech would be showing up in an hour or so, and now it isn't going to happen, beyond frustrating.
