If you are using all Comcast equipment, go online, and to the comcast website, go into chat, explain your problem, demand they repair THEIR equipment at NO cost to you. I have done this twice, with excellent results.

Get an antenna and an Amazon fire stick and cancel Comcast before you have no hair left at all

Give them 3 times to correct the problem. Them forward the complaints to the FCC . Once I did that , they came and finally fixed the problems right. Wiring in the wall was crimped in multiple places

Have used Comcast for the past 11 years and never had a problem until I bought a new Sony TV. I could not get the remote paired correctly. Everything but the sound worked. 2 hours on the phone with a tech who barely spoke English and the entry of every code in their book didn't work. Went to their store and solved the problem. She gave me a code that worked. Where did she get it from. She said she saw it on a YouTube video. Seriously!

Comcast is rated the most hated cable company year after year so they changed the name to Xfinity. My advice is to get Dish Network for cable and keep Comcast for Phone and or Internet. You will save lots of money and have a way better cable service. ( Yes Dish Network is a cable company) . I have used Sky Sat 20 for 10 years they will make all the changes for you. The number for Sky Sat in 352 775 1152 ask for Marc Tell him Mr Zachs from T.V. refered you .

I had a problem with Comcast of whom I no longer do business with however. I wrote a letter to the FCC and within two days Comcast resolved my problem. There are numerous complaints to the FCC on this company that’s why I now own a fire stick. No more cable tv

Comcast is my only complaint about services in TV. When I first got here, I called them at least 3 to 4 times a week for various cable error messages or corrupted TV screen. Once they came out, said they changed some wiring outdoors, billed me for it and said all would be well. NOT! I was on the phone with them again LAST night and the night before. I want to CHANGE, but didn’t know who to change to
