Hello, we apologize for the unpleasant experience you're having with our products and services, and we're here to help. How many receivers are impacted by this issue? Can you please check to ensure that all cables are free of damage and securely fastened? If you have a splitter, please make sure that is also in working condition. Freezing frames and flickering audio could be an indication of a signal issue. If a technician goes out to the home, and the issue is determined to be related to the Cox equipment or Cox wiring, there is no charge assessed. For additional support, please reach out to us at cox.help@cox.com, Facebook or Twitter. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
