Live TV pixilation

Started a few days ago. All live TV channels are pixelating. 3rd party, on-demand, and nonHD are fine. Did several system resets, hard booted DVR box and modem, checked coax connections, and virtual assistant sent a signal refresh to box. No change! Would a box swap at Xfinity store make sense? Watching a basketball game with horizontal streaks across isn't getting it for $270 a month.

Hello @user_10d1e9

To determine the reason for your Live TV pixelation issue. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a direct message:

1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon

2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)

4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

Issue appears to have cleared. We upgraded the box to our 2nd TV on the 10th to a newer X1 box. When a change is made to our account, does an upgraded signal get sent to our house? If so, it would be helpful to know that we should expect a degraded signal for a period of time.

@user_10d1e9 I apologize that we didn't directly address your last questions. When you upgrade your equipment there should be no change to the signals coming to your equipment that would cause any signal issues that would cause pixelation. I hope this helps to answer your question. Did you have any other questions or concerns?
