NBC sports channels unbearable to watch

[xv920]

I'm in San Jose, California and since last week both NBC Sports Bayarea and NBC Sports California have been unwatchable. Heavy distortion in video and audio. This means no Oakland A's game to me and that is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP.

Same problem here in CT. Xfinity video support told me the problem is the way NBC Sports broadcasts its games, and the same with Fox Sports 1. But when I said the NBC Sports Spanish channel is perfect, he had no explanation. Xfinity offered to contact NBC Sports, but I'm skeptical. We've had this problem intermittently for the past five years. 

What is the experience on Direct TV?
