X1 DVR recordings pixelating...still

This issue has been going on for some time now - each time I am told the same thing, refresh the box, reset the box, the signal is good, blah,blah,blah.   I have rewired all the coax cable and only have 1 3 way splitter on the line coming into the house.  It gets to the point that I can't even watch the shows i record.  This happens with recordings on both the DVR X1 box and the extra box that I have in another room.   However when I test using the xfinity stream app everything is fine,  no pixelation -    What else can be done to troubleshoot this - can I get a tech to check the line outside because I know the lines inside are fine.  Can I get a new box to see if its this DVR that is bad.   I am about to cancel this service if Xfinity can't fix this issue.   I pay too much to constantly have this issue

I reverted back to my older cable modem Arris SB8200 and the issues are fixed - the pixelating was due to the Motorola Cable Modem MB8611

Hello and thank you for posting here with this concern, this sounds like we may need to look into the lines in your home or replace the cable box. If the app lays the recording well then this means there's an issue with some equipment on site. We can help with getting a tech out if needed, or if you'd like to try swapping the box first you can do so by visiting any local Xfinity service center. To find the nearest service center to your home please click on this link (https://www.xfinity.com/support/service-center-locations). If you would like to proceed with a tech please send us a private message with your full name and street address.

@XfinityAmir​ I recently upgraded to the latest X1 box but twice it has gone crazy with part of the screen showing a perfectly clear picti=ure and the rest of the screen random pixels. Both times a system refresh returned everything to normal. Is this a problem with the box?
