@Brain01, I recommend power cycling the cable box and let us know if there is any change. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

I can add The Golf Channel and CNBC to the list of channels having this same issue.  I did a hard reboot of the box, but that didn’t help.

    Brain01,

    Are you seeing this issue with ESPN 33, Golf Channel 44, and CNBC 62 freezing and breaking up happening on all TVs with an HD cable box and a mini box, or just on one of the boxes? MLB Network 305 would only be able to check on an HD receiver, as Mini Boxes wouldn't have Pak channels available.

      I am seeing the issue on the mini box, but it is worse on the Contour 2 box.

        Are there any splitters or amplifiers that are connected to the coaxial that is screwed into the back of your Cable box? If so can you bypass the splitter/amplifier and plug it directly into the wall from the cable box?
