Recorded Bravo shows freeze or become un-synced when fast forwarding

When watching a recorded Below Deck or Southern Charm episode on Bravo, if I fast forward or rewind at any point in the middle of the program, the screen freezes and I have to start the entire episode over, and when I fast forward to the point I left off, if it DOES come back on, the audio and film are un-synced by several seconds. It's so annoying and frustrating to think I've saved my favorite show to watch however I want to watch it and then dread having to stop it for some reason because I know it's going to mess up.....AGAIN. I know this is an issue for many others as I've turned to the internet to try and find the WHY. Someone else reached out on this platform but that was dated two years ago. There's got to be some sort of glitch because it only seems to happen with Bravo shows that I've DVR'd. Help!

Hello @user_4e3f7b, thank you for creating such a detailed post and for giving us a chance to work with you on this freezing issue. That does sound like a pretty annoying thing to deal with while you're trying to watch your recordings. Have you noticed this only impacts the shows you mentioned or any Bravo show?

I am not the OP but have the same issue. It happens with all Bravo recordings for Below Deck, Below Deck Med, Below Deck Down Under and BD Adventure. I don’t record any other Bravo shows. The problem only occurs for me when I playback from my phone using the XFINITY app. No issue when I play back from dvr on my tv.

Happens to me too, and used to be only on Bravo but now it is all networks. If I try to fast forward through commercials, the audio proceeds playing, but the video stops. I have tried different Wi-Fi networks I have tried cellular network, I have uninstall the app and reinstalled, I have fast forwarded and rewound, and I have started the video over all with no success. So frustrating and at this point, I am ready to cancel Xfinity and just stream with the individual networks. Please help!

Hello, @user_a12843. I'm sorry to hear you've also been experiencing the same syncing issue with Bravo. We would hate to lose you as a customer, especially for something I'm sure we can find a solution for.

 

Other than using different networks and uninstalling/reinstalling the app, what else have you tried to troubleshoot this issue? Have you by any chance reset the modem? Do you have another profile available with your account to try going through the same steps?

Yes, I have reset the modem, turned my iPad on and off, ensured that my iPad software is up to date. I only have 1 profile.
