TV Pixelation

Has a solution been found for the pixelation issue?  I am in SE Denver and have had the problem subsequent to recent network enhancements.  It occurs on HD live programs, but not on streaming apps.  A new modem was installed in December.  On March 4, I set up a new X1 TV box, including a new HDMI cable, and spent 45 minutes on the phone with an Xfinity tech.  All cable connections were checked for tightness, and she did a system refresh.  I just performed a system refresh today and the problem persists.  Thank you for your assistance.

On March 4, I exchanged an old X1 TV Box for a new one at an Xfinity store and spent 45 minutes on the phone with an Xfinity tech the same day.  I also replaced the HDMI cable with a new one that came with the old X1 TV Box but had not been used yet.  It did not solve the pixelation problem.  If it makes any difference, I do not have a smart TV nor a 4k TV.  Are there different types of HDMI cables?  If so, maybe I do not have the most up-to-date version???

A service call by an Xfinity tech on 4/10/26 resolved the issue.  Pixelation was caused by updates within the Xfinity system.  The problem was fixed by replacing the X1 TV Box (wired) with an X1 Wireless TV Box.
