ESPN constantly glitching
For many weeks now, I have been having an issue watching ESPN.
The screen continually glitches and starts to get pixelated and pauses. This interruption happens over and over and over again. It is happening ONLY on ESPN. Our signal is fine otherwise; all other channels do not have this issue.
Can someone please let me know if this is a known issue or not? Is something being done about it? I am not receiving the service I am paying for.

Hello, @user_t5qnju. We appreciate you reaching our team regarding the ESPN concerns, I definitely understand how frustrating can be to experience pixelation issues. Are there any troubleshooting steps you've attempted and is this happening on multiple devices or only one?

Still garbled and pixelated non stop on all ESPN channels. Doesn't matter which cable box we are using. I'm getting close to canceling Comcast and moving to Verizon

Sportsnet Pittsburgh (CH 843), ESPNHD (CH 850) and ESPN2HD (CH 851) extremely pixelated, or have error message saying that there is a problem that is being worked on. This has been going on for about a week and has happened in the past at random times. Usually during hockey/football season when I use it the most.

I have been having the same problems on both ESPN on Formula 1 weekends (such as this weekend in Vegas) and USA which also hosts racing.
It's interesting to see that this largely has happened during Qualifying and Race events.
The VERY INTERESTING thing is that is if I record the session, the recording is just fine. I just have to watch it after the live event happens. Now today 11/24/2024 at 00:00 am, the signal looks like 90s scrambled adult films. 26 hours ago during Formula 1 free practice 3, I had no problems. They started just after that.
This has only happened within the last 4-5 months. On ONLY these two channels.
I'm in Pittsburgh. 823/850 are USA / ESPN channels.
I have gotten no response. Considering these are the only things worth watching on cable,,, why bother not moving?
I've had two technicians out in the last year if that's your goto move.

Been having the same problem in [Edited: Personal Information] with ESPN and xfinity for 2 seasons. [Edited: Soliciting and polling]. We have tv, internet, and phone with Xfinity in [Edited: Personal Information] (big bill). Would change in a minute!

We continually have buffering and/or pixilating while attempting to watch ESPN. Monday Night Football is no longer watchable.
This needs to be fixed on Xfinity's end!

Constant glitching and buffering while watching ESPN. This has been happening for several months. Xfinity needs to fix this issue. Sports are unwatchable!

Pretty clear that this is a systematic Xfinity problem and not specific to any given household. I have posted about this issue as well on a separate thread. Xfinity has had me troubleshoot multiple times, send out technicians twice who have pretty much replaced all cable equipment in my house (cable boxes, splitters, external connectors etc.) and the problem persists. Based on my experiences and those of others on this forum, I am inferring that this occurs primarily on sports broadcasts particularly when it is a big game. It also seems to have started occuring after some maintenance work was done by Xfinity in the neighborhood -- the issues started happening for me after such a maintenance and I have read at least two other posts that indicated that the pixelation problem started happening after routine maintenance work in their respective areas. Might be a red herring, but wanted to highlight that pattern incase others are seeing a similar correlation and want to chime in.
Perhaps others who are seeing the same problem can add to this thread so that Xfinity can take notice and finally take some action instead of making each of us run around in circles.
