What the what?? [View all]

Yes, I know, comcast is evil, but there's no other choice where I am. And cutting the cord is not an option.

So the comcast tech was just here. Checked the lines, the TV, and the cable box; all are fine. Problem? Some channels are pixilating so badly they are unwatchable, audio frequently cuts out along with the picture. Anyway, he says the issue is with broadcasters not keeping up with suddenly higher demand with everyone staying at home. At the moment, MSNBC is just a black screen, CNN is sporadic, Fox (and this is the only instance in which I would say this) is crystal clear, but you'd have to put a gun to my head to make me watch it. Also, no HGTV or similar channels, and I'm really hoping they get Animal Planet fixed soon.

So is this regional? By neighborhood? Anyone else noticing this problem?

And does anyone have an email addy for MSNBC so I can ask them whether or not comcast if fibbing? All I've been able to find is contact info for individual shows.

Yeesh, this is frustrating.
