pausing, pixelating, freezing, sound drops for several seconds
2nd attempt
MODERATORS - please don't move/delete this again as "unhelpful" , I am still having this issue and hoping for advice of resolution form the Comcast employees on the board
Several channels on all TVs in the house have pausing, pixelating, freezing, sound drops for several seconds. CNN (817) and the music channels (429, 427, 428) for sure
This happens several times an hour and is really annoying an interruptive.
We had this once before a few years ago, it took like 9 months to close the ticket, Several tech visits, lots of resets, all splitters and cable ends replaced, all boxes replaced. A service manager with a fancy meter tested our house, let us know it was NOT in our home but somewhere in the Comcast network, probably locally to our area, He called a few weeks later and said that equipment/cabling locally was replaced or repaired and it fixed several long running issues.
So my questions:
Is anyone else having this?
Is there any way to request the ’local area’ to be checked or whatever like the manager did without going through the months of site visits and phone support first? We are in Elkton MD
Thanks in advance!

@gary.novick Apologies, the recommendation provided earlier still is valid.
A technician visit may be required so that the signal levels can be reviewed and adjusted if necessary. There is no charge if the issue is determined to be with our equipment or originating outside your home.
My understanding is that the offer of a technician visit earlier was refused.
Please reach out if you would like to get a technician visit scheduled.

Mine got better night before last with the downstream SNR numbers around 40.
Last night the pixalating and sound dropping was back while the SNR number remained at 40.

I live in Danbury, Connecticut and am having the same issue with audio/visual freeze noted by others on this thread. I did look at SNRs through the gateway and for that snapshot time all we’re around 40-41. FYI

We are having the same issue with CNN in the house here in Cape Cod MA. It is on both TVs, each is in a different room, and each is a different box, so I seriously doubt that it is an issue with our equipment (as Comcast posted several times above) especially since several others on the forum here have the same exact issue with CNN. Also, I have had my external and internal connections by Xfinity within the last year or so due to other issues, so I feel secure that my incoming signal is good. Thanks for looking into this.

Hello,
So I had my appointment all set up and needed to reschedule which I did. Then something else came up and I needed to reschedule again and your system wouldn't let me reschedule again and I tried everyway I could think of to try to reschedule. So I finally got so mad that I canceled my inhome appointment. Do I need you to link me up for this follow up appointment or can I schedule. Will the right person come out? I think you need to instigate so the right person is put on this and you receive the feedback. When i call I have to start from scratch and tell the whole story over and it gets frustrating. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I still have freezing with picture and sound not only on CNN but on some of my recordings also. I wonder how much I've missed?? LOL!

OK, so it just happened again on Friday November 6, 2020 at about 1:35 PM.
I am using an LG TV, if the brand of TV may somehow be involved in the issue. Maybe keeping a log here of times will help Xfinity research the issue instead of cutting and pasting boilerplate responses.
